Bikes get to park free in Edinburgh. In theory only though, because you have to apply for a permit.
How come I can get a Tax Disk over the counter at a P.O. in five minutes without even filling out a form, but if I want a parking permit from Edinburgh Council I have to: wait in two queues; fill in two forms; wait an hour for my number to be called; be given wrong information and made to feel like a cunt for pointing this out; and still have to wait a fortnight for the actual permit?
This is even more galling when you realise that since any roads in the city centre which have not (yet) been closed due to tram works have been closed for the festival, meaning that moving is a non-starter and parking is basically the only option for the next three years or so.
