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. ;-)

1 N Franklin St. 311 report submitted. There were 3 trucks behind him that somehow manages to get close enough to the curb to leave at least half the bike lane open. Nope. Not this a** munch.

323 W Illinois St. 311 report submitted.

SM damn H....

Encountered this in the Washington bike lane between Canal and the river this morning. Moved it onto the sidewalk and called 311. I'm sorry to say it looked deliberate to me.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A rare find.  An actual ticket on a car parked in the bike lane.

I'm speechless. Did you verify that the ticket was for parking in the bike lane, and not an expired city sticker?
