Sorry, but it's legal and customary here and just about every bike does do it. It frees up spaces for the cages, especially in the parking lots that don't have motorcycle spaces. And it keeps the bikes from getting cooked in the sun. Not a d'bag move at all. In fact, it would be a d'bag move to take up a car parking space in a crowded lot when you can perfectly legally park up by the door. I'm not saying obstruct the door, but most bikes here park by the bicycle rack and store employees do the same.
