As noted in Deadspace Parking as BMX Training Course these income-generating asphalt plots become obstacle courses for budding and/or PRO suburban Tokyo BMXers from 12:30am onwards. Tonight as I return in the Dark Hourz I find the same man in a different coin parking space. I wonder whether he moves around to avoid detection or whether these spaces offer a valuable diversity of terrain that I have not before detected….. I need to look at those wheel clamps, judder bars and smooth asphalts more carefully.
Use the carry rack of your bicycle for a coaster, the lid of your drink as an ashtray – a simple private bar in front of the station.

Bicycles are parked in a way which creates a path of least distance from the exit of the train station to the nearest convenience store. I imagine that one reason for this courtesy is to try to stave off retribution for parking in a no parking zone – another may be the subconscious adherence to the paved markings in front of the shop (a very subtle but effective form of control).
