There's a bunch of bikes there when I go by in the morning, 43rd & 6th but it is not a legal parking zone. Anyone know what's what? thanks.

There's a couple of areas in the city where bikes seem to congregate during the day. I see a cluster on 5th and around 19th every day.
Maybe it's just been a regular group of bikes for a while?
Maybe it's the construction guys who ride in to the jobs in that area?
Maybe I have no freaking idea, and am just taking stabs in the dark? 8)
Like tommys67 mentioned, I believe it's some of the guys working on 1 Byrant Park. If I remember I'll ask tomorrow.
Thanks! that's going to be my new office so I figure I start looking now for parking.
This spot has been mentioned in at least one other thread here (and I know a few others on other boards)
Basically, it started with the construction workers (you can even read what union they're in on a few license plates) parking their bikes there, it then grew into a few/bunch more bikes parking there.
I've heard of some getting tickets, but I've never seen any. Nor have I seen anyone get towed.
But don't be fooled, it is illegal to park a motorcycle there as it's "commercial parking only"
There's a parking garage right there (I think Kinney) that offers spots for bikes inside for a little more than it would cost to get one ticket per month.
