The Chainlink

Share your pics, videos, streets, stories of what you find in the bike lane of the non-bike variety that has an impact on your ride and/or your safety. I've decided to keep it a little more open ended - cars, snow, buses, garbage, cabs, etc. If they shouldn't be in the bike lane, go ahead and add it to this thread. Please be safe if you are taking pics or video! :-) 

My hope is that we can collectively build some evidence of what we see when riding in the city with the overall hope of better enforcement of "bikes only" and improving maintenance. 

Update: More Hashtags to Capture Vehicles in the Bike Lane

With popular hashtags:
#BikeLaneShaming

#LaneSpreading (Chicago Bike Selling)

#ClearTheWay (ActiveTrans), there are many options to capture violations.

We think you should use ALL of them AND post your photos on The Chainlink. ;-)

And is that a parking garage just off to the right?

No, it is the Chicago Lighthouse. There is a UIC parking garage just north of this building as well as street parking a (short) block south.

1850 W. Roosevelt - 02/20/2017 @ 8:20am - blocking about 1/2 of the bike lane.

This really, really made me mad this morning. I yelled at this woman when I pedaled past her. "YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM! PULL OVER!"

On Grand, westbound, approaching Columbus, I believe...
