Beauty - thanks Brose. I'll bear those two rules in mind. :) I had assumed that parking facing the wrong way on the road would likely result in a ticket (they don't mind in Europe but here in North America they seem pretty uptight about such things) and in many cities (especially on the coast) hill parking is just a fact of life. Finding somewhere flat to park in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland or San Francisco could necessitate a LOT of walking - but I suppose that's better than a dropped bike!
