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. ;-)

Elston bike lane just north of Division was chick full of cars this morning. But they used cones, so yay.

This one's a twofer - there's a private vehicle in front of the ComEd truck.

On Grand yesterday immediately west of State:

2933 N. Elston yesterday evening.

Just north of Chief O'Neill's on Elston yesterday evening.

And this big a$$ truck was loading a car and blocking both the bike lane and part of the traffic lane at 4591 N. Elston.

This truck looks like 'the nightmare truck' from my deepest darkest nocturnal dreams.
Look at those wheel lug spikes and female figure on the grill. Eeek!!
Peterbilt, ...Nevada...! Auughh!!
Sorry for sharing my irrational fears. :O
