Studio Cycle car parking

[Wind Shear]

Anybody can give me the real story on parking near Studio Cycle on Dundas? There's municipal parking just behind, which if there's spots would cost... whatever it is now. I assume the No Frills that's also just behind is pretty militant about issuing tickets for non-grocery shopping customers.

Is paid street or lot parking my only choice (in a car)?

You can usually find a spot on the street pretty easily.

You can park on most of the side streets as well.

I should have been more clear, any way I can safely avoid paying for parking on a Saturday because I’m a cheap sob? I’ll be there probably less than an hour.

Wait until Saturday to buy groceries?

Side streets. Harder to find a spot but the parking is free.

The Home Depot parking lot is a10 minute walk.

I've always parked across the street and never paid. Usually I'm in and out in 30-45

I might also have a reluctant 10 year old in tow

How is a 10 yo reluctant to go to a bike dealership? You need to channel your inner @crankcall salesman and get that kid excited about the trip.

Park on street. Leave 10 year old in car. Tell him if meter maid shows up, to move the car/circle the block.

Bikes are fine, reluctant to walk 10 mins / 1 km. I can already hear the feet dragging.

I can remember as a kid the horrible lies my parents would tell about "short walks". They definitely exceeded 10 minutes though

The lot seems to be pretty reasonable at $1.50 per half hour. https://parking.greenp.com/carpark/19_385-pacific-avenue/

1. Go to a different shop with free parking
2. Park on side street for free
3. Pay at the Green P. Probably a couple bucks. Ask Studio to reimburse you.
4. Park at the No Frills. They aren't militant

Real question is why you going to studio

Wanted some Pro Grips but didn’t want to pay double their cost in shipping. They stock them.

They had a number of RS’s and Tuono’s on the floor. Nice bikes; out of my price range.

Gave me something to do with the kid on a Saturday and then went out for lunch. Paid the $1.50 for the GreenP parking, that’s fine.

Since you made it 'downtown' hope you took advantage to trying the places you normally don't make it to!

Burger Drops is still worth the trip to Liberty Village, place is always slammed.
