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 bike doesn't look the one painted on the ground.

That should be an immediate tow.

1850 W. Roosevelt Road - 02/17/2017 @ 8:30 am (note cyclist trying to get around school bus - the school bus has plenty of room to the right so it doesn't have to be in the bike lane).

1850 W. Roosevelt Road - 02/17/2017 @ 8:30 am (and then once around the buses). Mike Amsden (CDOT, Assistant Director of Transportation Planning) is aware of the issue and working to resolve it.

A record catch today. There were 3 others that zipped away before I could get my camera out.

Wow, a bumper crop of ignorance and/or stupidity. :(

they leave the nose of their car in the bike traffic lane, but it looks like they realllllly love their mirrors.
