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. ;-)

Agree. Thing is, I think the original post is literally older than the link. :)

I really wish that page were mobile friendly. I found i nearly impossible to use on my cellphone.

Doesn't look too bad on my Android device in Chrome, though I admit I've not actually submitted a complaint through the form.

I usually wait until I get home to report because it is not very mobile friendly. Too bad they don't add vehicles in the bike lane to the Chicago Works mobile app.

225 N Franklin St. 311 site won't accept address, and forces user to select a different parallel street. WTF.

This Trib truck managed to not only block two bike lanes at the same time but was also facing against traffic, for a grand total of at least 3 possible citations! A new personal best.
