Dead-easy, they aren’t locked to a permanent object, just move them behind the car, and then they’ll neither be stolen nor your fault if someone else parks their hoods into the bikes. Move the offending bikes past the car
I always park my bicycle on parking spaces now. Because:
a) It’s legal in Germany. Even on parking spaces that cost money for cars or are time limited, you can put your bike for free, for as long as you wish. Because those restrictions apply to parking, and parking is something only cars do. (Exception: Private spaces)
b) I’d rather take away space from cars than from pedestrians.
I invested 10€ in a loud-as-fuck alarm from Alibaba that activates when the bike moves, so far it’s had a 100% success rate of discouraging cagers from trying to carry my bike somewhere else.
Well, there’s three bikes in this picture and only one car. The car is taking up more space than all of the bikes. Simple solution: get rid of that car parking spot and turn it into bike parking. Now more people can visit the businesses!
The car also has a Dutch license plate. While I am generally a big proponent of bike friendly infrastructure, even at the expense of car amenities, the Dutch of all the people don’t need any more prodding in that direction.
But that’s not how it’s currently set up, both cars and bikes can coexist. These bikes shouldn’t be parked there just like cars shouldn’t go into the sidewalk.
There are multiple additional parking spaced behind the car. Replacing one spot with bike parking still allows both modes to visit the shop but provides an increased number of visitor spaces.
The problem is not lack of bike parking, we have plenty of that in the Netherlands 😊 We’re just sort of spoiled and like to park our bike right at the place we need to be. If you do that normally it usually isn’t a problem.

I find myself park mine close to buildings when picking up takeaway and similar if there’s no nearby bollards or racks nearby, but at the same time I feel like I’m probably impeding in some way for blind, wheelchairs etc.
Okay, so as a cab driver I have a lot of opportunities to get frustrated with how selfish and myopic people are. But you know what happens when I do that? I make myself miserable.
I, personally, find that my mental state is much, much better the more I’m willing to accept people not doing things ‘the right way’. Yes, I could get annoyed for the hypothetical people who might encounter an obstacle to their mobility here (who have not and may not ever arrive), but what will that actually do for me or for anyone else?
Unless I’m actually moving the obstacle my disapproval is completely useless. It may even cause me to do something stupid and inconsiderate myself as I become distracted by my annoyance.
But if I just let it go, smile, and move on, the utter insignificance of the action can just fade into the background and not make itself part of my focus on how to reflect on humanity or my day.
I heard it’s psichologically unhealthy to hide them in your darkest parts of mind, after all they’re just sitting there in your subconscious without you knowing it. Frustration will keep gathering though, please speak to your friends, family or therapist about these issues before depression hits.
If you suppress it, letting it fester, you’re right. But that’s not what they’re talking about.
They’re describing actually letting it go. Letting the emotions wash over you and dissipate naturally. It may look the same on the outside, but internally it’s very different. It’s by far the best skill for your mental health.

You could move the bikes for that hypothetical person. I can not move a bike like that because of my disability.
Personally I could pass those at the side, but I have friends who need a walking aid or wheelchair who probably couldn’t. Vehicles parked in the middle of the way are a regular road block. It is often because people without disabilities can’t (or won’t) imagine that people who can’t move a bike or climb over a scooter exist.
I'm so mad at people who don't properly park their rented scooters. I always take my time to put them aside if they're a hindrance on the sidewalk but it infuriates me how it just takes TWO seconds to not be an asshole and people still don't bother.
Chrono Trigger is that awesome game that I never played back in the day… Until now, I started it like a month ago (the DS version) and I’m liking it so far.
