Wish I had a picture of what I just experienced just now.

Took my dad to his cardiac exercise class, which I do too to use their machines. Walking up to the building, some <swear word> had parked his motorcycle on the sidewalk. Right at the top of the handicap ramp.

Had my mom with us. She's a bit clueless on things, she also doesn't care if she's blocking me and my dads way. We all use walkers.

She started chatting with motorcycle guy. Blocking my way, and I was trying to get up the ramp. So I kind of yelled at my mom a bit. Told her she and the bike were blocking the ramp, and that I couldn't get past the two of them. Might have said the motorcycle should not have been on the sidewalk.

Pretty sure the cyclist figured out I was kind of calling him out a bit. He revved his bike up like he was mad, and left.

Sidewalks are for pedestrians. Ramps on sidewalks are to help people who can't step up a curb, or for wheelchairs to roll up. Not for motorcycles to easily park on sidewalks.

I'm getting really annoyed at all the people who are making it harder for me or my dad to get around.

What makes the motorcyclists so freaking special that they think they can park in the handicap access spaces next to the handicap parking spots, and on sidewalks?

They're obviously physically capable people. They can go park in a real parking space and walk their lazy butts to the door like the rest of the Normals do.
