Free parking for motorcycles is 'ridiculous'

To the editor: Re: "Motorcycle lobby pushes for free parking in Vancouver," Aug. 30. The defense is absolutely ridiculous. A motorcycle will only seat two people.

The defense is absolutely ridiculous. A motorcycle will only seat two people. So if a car can transport five people, then the emission saving should be calculated as such. Some motorcycles are so loud on the road, it's unbearable. What about people driving hybrids and electric cars, shouldn't they get a break from the high parking prices? Adele Tompkins is selling, but I'm not buying it.
