The Chainlink

What's this doing in the bike lane?

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. ;-)

LOL. Or maybe like Heracles, he got stronger carrying an ever-growing bull across a field every day, right?

Just noticed this morning that the city recently repainted the Washington lane.

 

Didn't stop a delivery truck from completely blocking the start of the "protected" portion of the lane at Wacker, tho.

433 W Harrison St, aka U.S. Post Office. 311 report submitted. Also related to the post office, I was heading west on Harrison just west of Racine. They have recently repaved and restriped Harrison, making it one lane and a stripped bike lane. A post office delivery truck sped past me in the car lane, and then cut in front of me into the bike lane. He then proceeded to drive the next 3 to 4 blocks at high speed in the bike lane. It looked like he was attempting to pass a car in the car lane, but the car was matching his speed. Unfortunately I couldn't get a photo. 'Sh*t like this makes me think about getting a helmet cam.
