Auto glass repair truck parked in the bike lane for over an hour while replacing a windshield.

Found this lovely truck on Clark heading south near fullerton, just outside Children's Memorial Hospital.

...rented a car today = big trouble for bike lane violators ;)

This white pathfinder was sitting with blinkers on, with the driver inside, in the bike lane in front of the Target at Logan and Elston for more than twenty minutes around 4:30 p.m. on Memorial Day, when he could've easily pulled into the parking lot to wait.

Major bike thoroughfare for West Loopers.

not certain on loacation - taken from tree branch obscured awning in photo

It's already dangerous for bikes under the el stop there, since they put barriers up and force-merge bike and car traffic with no signs. This didn't help.

My thoughts were:
1-gotcha
2-really? a messenger blocking the bike lane?
3-hey, the car is running. Maybe I should just move it for them.

not sure on the date; I'm catching a backlog on these few

Blue Island Ave between 14th and 18th also has a lot of bike lane violators.

2645 is a hotbed of bike lane violation activity. Unfortunately, this bike lane needs repair and more pavement markings in order to better delineate that this is not for cars. There are two No Parking - Tow Zone signs just before this spot. WTF.

Look who decided to stay parked here all day! Our police personnel color document holder!

This Toyota Corolla is parked in front of the truck tonight. This one has a special gift attached: Police personnel parking placard. What does that thing even mean? It proves that someone in the police department was able to use Microsoft Word and print in color a document that says some stuff.

Same day as the last post, just 11 hours later. Can't really tell if it moved or not.

This truck is parked here AGAIN. This bridge is my most used route into and out of my home neighborhood. This was taken at midnight, I've got another one of the truck still there 11 hours later at 11 PM.

This truck parks here quite often. As you can see with all the glass strewn on the sidewalk, it's probably not safe. Also, no one can see what's happening to the car, even if you live at the closest house.

Locals will recognize Kingston Mines backdrop...

Two violations at once! Score for me!

Coca Cola - proud to be in the way not only of cyclists, but of vehicular traffic. Halsted ~ 1900N Tuesday April 22 approximately 11:20 AM, CST.

SUV in lane on Washington. Driver waved and smiled as I took photos of her car illegally parked in a way that endangers me.

I'm glad she thought it cute.

...for contributing to unsafe cycling conditions in Chicago.

I saw this newstruck parked directly in front of the bike station at Millennium Park. You can see from the other vehicles in the photo that this is a popular place for bike lane parking violations.

Truck parked in northbound bike lane in 1300 block of Wells.

Cab was just sitting outside of a bar, nobody on street

Cab did not just pick up or drop anyone off. Cab was sitting in lane near bars.

Cab waiting out in front of Cell Block, although nobody hailing cabs there (people were waiting in line to get in).

Northbound bike lane on Wells, just north of North Avenue, 5:15 pm

This is in front of Sushi Samba Rio at 504 N. Wells. The valet company, Premium Valet, was "temporarily" placing cars here. However, the cars had been sitting here for at least 3 minutes. As I arrived to take pictures, 3 valet drivers got in three of the cars and moved them down the street. I also called the police.

Car parked in southbound bike lane on Clark Street, just north of Diversey, 10:40am. The driver was getting out of his car, and he tried to tell me that he was not parked in the bike lane, even though it was clear that he was.

The driver of this cab parked here, exited the cab, and then went to go talk to someone. As I was snapping the photo they asked me if I got a good shot.

This is the third of three cars that uses the bike lane on Drexel as a permanent parking spot.

This is the third car that is constantly parking in the bike lane at Drexel

This is the second of three cars that parks in the Drexel Blvd. bike lane every day forcing cyclists into traffic. There's plenty of parking space across a few yard further south but these people seem to prefer the bike lane.

The same three cars park in this bike lane day in day out. The road is narrowing at this point and the position of these cars forces me to bike into traffic.

After the driver noticed me snapping a picture of his van he hopped back in and blew past me. Then quickly pulled into the bike lane ahead of me and slammed on his brakes, apparently trying to get me to run into the back of his van? FedEx is getting a call from me

Cab across from Cafe Ba Ba Reeba (a well-liked tapas restaurant).

Nobody was hailing the cab either. He just pulled over and decided to sit.

Cab sitting in front of Peg Leg Sullivan's.

Tried to drive off before I could get a photo.

Note the ENORMOUS amount of curb space available but arrogantly ignored.

Peg Leg Sullivan's I believe is the bar here. There are almost always cabs waiting in the bike lane, despite two or three spaces to the right.

This cab took off quickly after I snapped a photo.

This cab driver was waiting out in front of MTX even though there were no potential fares. And, there was plenty of open (albeit illegal) curb space right behind it.

She parked after I took her picture.

This intersection gets REAL crazy during rush hour. Every time I pass through here and there's a car in the bike lane, I have to go around into traffic that's attempting to race to the backed up traffic to the north. It's REALLY stupid.

I get REAL sick of this.

This Sherrif's vehicle is frequently in this particular bike lane. The driver said she has to park there because they tell her to, and because otherwise she would have to cross Ogden. She also told me that she generally tries to park ON THE SIDEWALK to keep out of the bike lane.

This is the Cook County Juvenile Center at Ogden/Roosevelt. Every time I ride through here there's someone in the bike lane, or several someones.
