The Chainlink

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. ;-)

The jerk driving the white minivan with plates PN 19377 was parked there this morning a few minutes after 9:00 a.m. and I called 911. Obviously and unsurprisingly nothing has happened to them and they are going to continue to use the protected bike lane as their personal, reserved parking spot on a daily basis.

Sorry for the language, but I have no f*cking idea why the city spent boatloads of $$$ on labor on Harrison Street and didn't put in curbs for the full length. A rather f*cking pointless exercise.

The City That Works my a**.

Harrison bike lane is STILL such a joke with this section of shared access. Nice that they put in new bollards for jackasses to destroy again. I'd be okay with putting in pipes instead of plastic.
