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. ;-)

Found this gem in the GoPro from July... bike lane on Wabash and Roosevelt, and sidewalk. 

Lately they've been pretty good about not parking in the bike lane on Jackson in front of the Police Training Academy. But a bike lane *and* a sidewalk is just too tempting I guess. <_/p>

There's a Starbucks out of view, but in that corner. They're notorious for getting their coffee and parking there. 

Pepsi this morning on 84 E. Washington. And AIM. 2nd AIM truck this week. 

Wow, that guy with the trolley was really scary. Consider yourself lucky. 

didn't you always say you stop at stop signs? you never stopped at this red light before you turned... not trying to be a smartass but just saying.

Good call-out. If we're serious about following traffic/safety laws, we need to stop first, *then* turn.
