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. ;-)

This truck has been parked in the Elston bike lane for at least 24 hours. I called 911 yesterday as it was clearly unoccupied and had been there for a while. It was still there today, no ticket on it. So I called again. 

I like that idea. Would one call a specific towing company?

Hmm. Wondering if they will actually tow the vehicle based on my request. I guess I may find out tomorrow morning if that truck is still there!
