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. ;-)

Repeat offender Alfa Restaurant Supply, 4218 N Elston Ave. The alderman's office reached out to them a while back and I haven't seen trucks blocking the bike lane there until 7:45 am this morning. Oh, and they actually have a parking lot with loading dock.

There was a truck there when I went by there around 6am too.

Looks like the extreme south end of the Dearborn lane (though Printer's Row) will be out of commission for awhile. Friday, I saw "closed" signs but no construction. Today, it's filled with pipes and marked with what appears to be indications of sewer pipe installation.
