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. ;-)

225 N Franklin St. 311 report submitted. So I pull up along side the patrol, and the officer is inside the vehicle looking down at his smartphone. I ask him to roll down the window, and I ask him if he knows if it's illegal to stop in a shared bike lane. He apologizes, and says that it's an emergency. Yeah, Uh huh. OK. No lights, and he's checking out Facebook.

You're lucky they didn't arrest you.

I didn't get a pic but, during my commute this morning, I ran into an Uber driver parked perpendicularly across the Dearborn lanes, making it nearly impossible to pass in either direction as he slowly unloaded 3 passengers.
