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. ;-)

On one hand, SO not cool to see the pic with the cars all over the green (and completely clueless). On the other hand, really cool angle of photo. 

I've noticed once one car buzzes me, there's a higher chance of the cars behind that driver buzzing me too. They seem to just follow each other and not question, "hey, that's green. Maybe I shouldn't follow?"

I counted 8 cars parked (not just stopped but parked with no occupants) in the bike lane during my 5 mile commute in this morning, including a car parked directly in the middle of the Clinton two-direction "protected" lane.

That can be reported to 311 or via the SeeClickFix app. I just reported a different non-draining sewer on Milwaukee Ave.

Juan, what kind of jerk would park his bike in the Bike Lane! Oh, that's yours! ;-)
Cool Juan! Is this a Gif? How did you do this? Nice effect!

LOL, yeah that's me parking in the bike lane. Thanks, It is a gif file created automatically by my google photo account. I just tried to take several shots of a cyclist navigating the puddle and my account surprises me with animations.
