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. ;-)

After work, riding north on Dearborn, Uber decides to park here to pick up his passenger. Car next to him yelled that he was parked on the bike lane. You can also hear me. I looked back and passenger looked embarrassed and said: sorry man!

1 N Franklin St. 311 report submitted. Is it really that difficult to learn to park properly? Any reason to leave 2 feet between the curb and the vehicle? That's beyond lazy. Oh, and it's also illegally stopped in a bus stop.
