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. ;-)

The idiot above at 225 N Franklin was my 300th 311 report submitted since April when the new code was added for vehicles in the bike lanes. Oy. F*cking. Vey.

Riding in this morning on Kinzie between Kingsbury and Orleans the bike lane was impassible due to snow buildup. WTF. It's been 3 days now since the snow, and the lanes should be clear.

Not snow shoveled in by businesses after the city had already plowed?

No, it was the eastbound lane on the south side of Kinzie. There are no businesses on that side. The adjacent sidewalk was clear, so I assume it's possible that whoever cleared the sidewalk tossed in into the bike lane.
