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. ;-)

This happened to me quite a few times on Milwaukee Ave on Saturday from Logan Square to the loop.  It seems like interesting sport for a cyclist to go out and record as many violations as possible.

236 N Wells St. 311 report submitted. Instead of simply pulling over to the available spot on the curb, the Uber driver just has to stop in the middle of the shared bike lane on Wells St, backing up traffic into the intersection.
