bucks1605 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Does anybody know of a good parking lot where my gf could practice riding? Just looking for something with not a lot of gravel, open space, and somewhere we won't get kicked out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954RRLuke Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I was thinking about teaching my wife to ride in the parking lot behind Macy's at the tri-county mall. There is never anyone parked back there but there is a huge electricity thing back there. As long as you don't hit that you should be fine...

bucks1605 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) I didn't think of that. I'll have to check out some of the suburban schools, the ones around here don't even have parking lots. Know of any good ones close to downtown?Edit: I think I found a good spot. Mariemont High School, secluded, couple round-a-bouts, and a few lots. I'll let you know how it turns out.

DudeAbides Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 umm, there is a huge cinema off of the norwood lateral, cant remember the name of it now, but it's closed, huge lot, every now and then a car will pass thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucks1605 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks for the ideas guys, now if we get kicked out of one, we've got plenty of backups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know how it turns out.haha! my ex-girlfriend's old highschool... there is a steep hill to get to the parking lot by the sports complex and its not really that big... the other lot sucks b/c gravel and such. You're probably likely to get kicked out of there too, Mariemont police have absolutely nothing to do and the whole town is rich snobby MFers that have nothing to do but get in peoples business (EX-girlfriend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I don't know what condition it is in but the Cincinnati showcase cinemas off of the Norwood lateral at Reading rd. is the biggest abandoned parking lot I've ever seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See post 12 and 14. Just bustin your chops bearcat. If I ever needed to get my practice on in Cincy this is probably a spot where I would head since it is not too far from my mom's place.

Mellogsxr Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Closest lot in Clifton would prolly be the lot across from the firehouse on short vine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolblue Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 +1 for school parking lots, that is where I learned. I like the school parking lot because I was by myself, that way I only looked like an idiot to the people with me and not a bunch of strangers.

bucks1605 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I think I'll give Showcase Cinemas a try then. That's a bummer about Mariemont, looked like the perfect spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkgsxr Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 They closed the theater over off Norwood Lateral and the parking lot is a couple of acres of nice smooth asphalt. Looks perfect for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
