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. ;-)

If you call yourself a "green" company, don't cut over into the bike lane, cutting off a cyclist (me) with the risk of slamming into the back of your van. Oh, you didn't realize it because you were on your phone? AWESOME. BTW, no parking in the bike lane!

Well, c'mon- they're on a Budget, so they can't afford to pay to park all those trucks legally. /s

hehehe. good one!

LOL. When I pedaled through that area on Thursday afternoon, in the light rain, there was no one blocking the bike lane! There was a Budget truck parked in such a way as to avoid being in the bike lane by parking on the sidewalk.  :-/
