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. ;-)

I'm not giving up on the fact the cops need to do their job professionally without regard for their personal bias against biking. I'm not ready to acquiesce to their lack of commitment to their taxpayer paid job duties to write tickets. I also would like better infrastructure. But in the meantime, I think it's a fair criticism and reasonable expectation that falls on the city council and CPD.

Kinda glad I didn't witness that. I would not have been able to resist the urge to either ride up the ramp or pick up all the cones at throw them at this asshole.

Lol. I'd luv to see that.

More than once I've thought about riding up a ramp like that but haven't yet gotten up the nerve. It would be a good first step to one day get up the real nerve needed to hop up on the hood of somebody's car who has totally blocked the entire crosswalk .

Elston and LeMoyne, 3/19/18 at 5:25pm. Reported to 311.

125 S Franklin St. 311 reports submitted.

223 N Franklin St. 311 report submitted.

125 S Franklin St. 311 report submitted. The 3rd driver really takes the cake. He sees me snapping photos of the taxis in front of me, so of course he pulls up right behind me, and blocks himself in.

175 N Franklin St. 311 report submitted. This is my 400th report since last April.

125 S Franklin St. 311 report submitted. This stupid, brain dead son of a b*tch is too stupid to park along the curb. Shouldn't this be grounds for automatic suspension of a drivers license? Do we really want people with IQ's this low driving 2 ton vehicles on our streets?

This crap makes me crazy. How hard is it to pull up next to the curb????
