As I said, my rule of thumb, not yours. It's personal preference.

Better yet, I can have the mods look at our interaction. As both an independent party and our hosts, they can advise who's out of line.

It’s obviously on a kickstand.
The very first thing I noticed was the the bike is out in the walk way. If the bike were leaned against the wall, there would be more room for someone to walk down the sidewalk. As the bike is positioned in the picture, there is much less room to walk past it.
When was the last time you saw a

What was that thing you said about "making claims that aren't true?"
