IIRC if on the pavement and both wheels are off the ground you can't get a ticket, somewhere was selling a stand for just this purpose.

In Bristol if you are on the pavement, be it a car or a bike they say as long as someone can walk passed then its legal. I have had this told to me by the Council and Police when I have complained about parking in my neighbourhood as it has become beyond a joke. It seems people are able to park everywhere except the road down here and be untouchable. Weird:eureka:

Well I've emailed them but not had a reply yet...
