Parking Tips
When parked in spaces designed for their exclusive use, motorcycles must park in designated area with rear wheel to the curb.
Metered parking is in effect during the hours posted.
No motorized vehicle without pedals shall park on islands or sidewalks.
Park one motorcycle per stall.
Motorcycles may park in metered zones designed for automobiles providing the parking meter is paid. When parking in spaces designed for automobiles, motorcycles should park parallel to the curb (and watch your bike tip over due to camber of the surface!)

Thanks for the list, since one of my bikes was pushed over in a parking lot, I always look for motorcycle specific parking.

On a side note, I found a similar list on google maps, I'll post the link when I find it.

Also, some of  the motorcycle spots are NOT bikes-only on weekends. I remember in one specific occasion, I think it was the 1400 Block on M street, I wanted to park there on a Saturday but it was full of cars...
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

I'll add just about any sidewalk in the residential side streets - use at your own risk.
996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

Most parking garages are free to bikes in DC. I have never had to pay.

Where are  you parking?  I'm paying $10/day
Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I have never had to pay for a bike in any garage in DC. I worked on K street for 7 years. First in the 2500 block and then in the 2700 block. I used K st parking and a few of the buildings on L st. Then I worked at NPR by the Convention Center. I did not pay at any of garages there either. They were all free for bikes.

Ditto, kinda. I can only speak to a few garages in the West End (M street). Check in with the attendant; they'll tell you where to park (usually a "no parking" space next to water/sewer pipes).
