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. ;-)

Roosevelt and Wabash. I will contact the trucking company... and the van behind it, police officers also blocking the lane with their van, getting coffee at Starbucks.

I ran across them yesterday. Stopped in the bike lane in front of Starbucks, 10 feet from a perfectly good parking space.   smh

From the 17th.

Some drivers don't understand... a bike lane is not a personal parking space so they can pick up carryout.
