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. ;-)

2295 N. Elston Ave - 06/28/2017 @ 4:30pm

Budget (saw the driver get out, walk across the street and get into a car (parked in the bike lane), then drive away). The last 3 mornings as well as Monday and Tuesday evenings were clear of any vehicles in the bike lane.

311 report filed.

Yeah, that was a nice little streak of clear bike lane days!

I'm about to start commuting into the Loop everyday, so I expect to see a lot of this. How do you report these?
