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. ;-)

27 N Franklin St. 311 report submitted. I will never understand what is so d*mn difficult about pulling a vehicle to the curb. If you look at the Google Maps Streetview for this location, you'll see a FedEx truck parked along the curb, and out of the bike lane.

My very first pic of a vehicle in the bike lane was a Flood Brother truck. The owner is a d-bag, so don't expect any help from the company. He feels it's his right to put others at risk to increase the safety of his drivers.
