Today the family wants to go bike riding in East End Park. We're in Trailwood. It's a long distance from here to there so we want to load up the bikes and drive there.Problem is, with 5 bikes (all adult size), they will only fit in my husband's company van, which does not have the green K sticker. I can peel the sticker off my Tahoe for this one trip or just take the van and hope it doesn't get towed.I have zero experience with how strict KW is about the K sticker. Should we take the van w/o the sticker or maybe take the truck, unload the bikes, come back home and drive the Tahoe back? I don't want to deal with any unpleasantries today. 4951

They almost towed my new truck when it was 25 miles on it. I only walked to the walkway and the sorry sob was already backing up to my truck to tow it. They are deligent and without the sticker, you are simply a CASH COW for them. Go get the sticker. FYI, those ******s even towed another guy who HAD a sticker, but it was an old one, evidently they have an expiration on them. My new one has an id number on it, but nowhere is an expiration. That number is tied to your vehicle so it better match whats on record....Its a costly 100 percent avoidable waste of damn money if you want to risk it. All my vehicles now have new stickers on them.  4951

I can't get a sticker for a company vehicle. Maybe if we owned the company I could, but he works for a big corporation in Houston.  4951

Park at Kroger ir Randall's and bike from there. It's a longer ride, but better than getting towed. 4951

They expire?????? How do we know if they are expired? I understand stickers to prove you live in kingwood but they just go way overboard with this, heck an updated insurance card with a drivers license should be enough IMO. Damn sticker nazis.....lol How do people have BD parties at the parks, or is it not allowed, if so do they go around and tow all your guest vehicles? 4951

Riverwood MS is 200 yds from the park.  Plenty of parking and an easy street ride in.  As mentioned above, beware of stopping for too long lest the mosquitoes and horse flies find their buffet in you. 4951

Well, my husband freaked out after reading all the stories here about cars getting towed, so guess what? He insisted that we ride our bikes from Trailwood to East End. I thought my little short legs were going to die -- but overall, it wasn't a bad ride. We really enjoyed it. 4951

Since when do they tow from East End Park?  There are no signs there indicating with a 24 hour number indicating they will tow as required by city ordinance. 4951

@chilladahun: Yep, and since East end Park is mostly street parking only they don't tow at this park...Now River Grove Park you best have a K sticker, you'll be towed there, and if you park in the boat only spots you also will be towed even if you have a K sticker. The K stickers don't expire. The old K sticker was just a K and is no longer valid, the new K sticker has a serialized number on it  which is tied to owner info to ensure owner is a Kingwood resident. A few years ago people were making "k" stickers and selling them on craigslist, mostly for use of the boat ramp at river grove, this is why KSA went to a serialized K sticker. Getting a K sticker you need all the info to match your home address, which neighborhood, driver license, insurance card and vehicle registration.
