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. ;-)

He smiled and said hi - shrugged his shoulders when I pointed out he was parked in the bollard protected bike lane. As I do with all my posts here, 311 reported and uploaded to bike lane uprising.

Snow. Everywhere.

I've been reporting to 311 but I don't think it's doing much-- has anyone been getting results? I almost took a spill on the downhill bit on kinzie right by fulton park, going to avoid that in the future!
