James BlackHeron replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'What's a Cycle Track, Anyway?'"Sweet.
I like this. Many highways have little reflective thingies that they implant directly into the tarmac. I wonder if something like that would help in a similar way that the beer cups do, but still allow snowplows to easily…"
Thunder Snow replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'What's a Cycle Track, Anyway?'"An interesting story in today's Atlantic suggests that adding some sort of physical barrier to the painted stripe of a bike lane greatly alters the way motorists behave around it. As an experiment, a Brooklyn bike blogger duct taped…"
Anne Alt replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"Exactly. Note the building in the background on the right of the first photo (looking west). That's Blommer Chocolate.

Peenworm Grubologist replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"guys. it says chrome and has a "specialized" logo on it and has a bike on top, also half acre brewing, we're cool, right? i'm practically a bike."
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"He's a cyclist, but not that kind of cyclist. It looks like this was taken near the Sun-Times building, maybe he was just running in to drop off an op-ed column.

notoriousDUG replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"I don't think you would because if you look he is clearly inside of the parking area in the protected bike lanes. you can see open space that may be an open spot in front of the car parked behind him. In the other picture it is not…"
notoriousDUG replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"As much as I hate to bag on the suburbs I can;t help but notice the lack of city sticker on that Jeep...

Michael A replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"As far as I know that is not any of the HAC racer's jeep, we do give out sticker for free at races,events and at the brewery... this person seems to be a sticker junkie.. I also want you to all look at the signs in the pic. it CLEARLY…"
Anne Alt replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"Yes, probably a suburbanite. The irony is priceless."
James BlackHeron replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"Oh, that is rich.
Maybe it is someone's wife/husband driving the jeep? I bet that the owner lives in the burbs too. If you spend any time on some bike forums you'll find a few riders who are extremely anti-urban riding or at…"
S replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"The funny part is that pretty much all of the stickers are cycling related. If I had to guess, the owner races in both road and mountain bike races. I'm sure if you got some half-acre racers to look at the pics they could tell you…"
djm replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"I dont know if there is any room left for a sticker:

Bike Bloke replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"I find that cops thinking they have a free pass blocking the bike lane while on lunch break especially egregious. I know they might have to respond to an emergency, etc, blah, blah, blah, but we all know that is not the real reason they can't…"
Bike Bloke replied to Michelle Quivey's discussion 'iblockthebikelane.com - New Bicycle Awareness Campaigns'"A link to http://chicago.mybikelane.com/ should be a 'sticky' post up there with the forum rules and 'what to do if your bike gets stolen'. I've only not posted because hitherto I didn't know about it. And…"

- About me:
- Creator of iblockthebikelane.com, a campaign to raise motorists’ awareness of safety issues and laws related to bicycle lanes. Core to the initiative’s efforts are Bike Lane Sticker Teams, groups of bicyclists who place iblockthebikelane.com easy-peel stickers on vehicles illegally standing or parking in clearly marked bicycle lanes.
The stickers are friendly invitations to visit the website, where I post current bicycle-related news and information and encourage constructive dialogue between motorists and bicyclists.
