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. ;-)

Obstructing view at intersection, blocking the crosswalk, and the entrance to the bollard protected bike lane.

I would lol if it weren't so sad.

What street is that at the very beginning? I can't seem to figure it out.

Standard pedestrian action on Dearborn. Well handled. Kind of funny how the single speeder was assisted and a dumb pedestrian was spared a ruff shoulder or a direct hit.
