I currently park at a co-workers house and ride from there. I have rode more than a handful of times in a year for close to 15 years. So, I am starting light with 3.5 miles each way between work and the car. Going to slowly start stepping out in a couple weeks. I work 2nd shift so most business are closed when leave work (quit time for me is 11 pm).

Does anyone have suggestions for asking businesses permission to park in their lots for 8 and a half hours? The last thing I want is my car towed.
