Bike Lane Violations in Chicago
USPS blocking end of lakefront trail at Sheridan
Sheridan at Hollywood, Chicago, IL
Unattended USPS vehicle, no hazard lights. Blocking the northernmost end of lakefront trail where it turns into Hollywood at Sheridan. No USPS employee in sight
A Stars Limo Company
Randolph and Michigan, Chicago, IL
This hideous stretch Hummer limo was among 4 vehicles blocking the bike lane that leads to the Millenium Park bike station. Oh the irony of it all...
Fed Ex cuts off cyclists to park in bike lane
Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL
This guy actually cut off a bunch of cyclists (Milwaukee Ave at 8:45 am is pretty busy) to park in the bike lane on the southbound side between Grand and Hubbard.
Delivery truck
1339 N. Wells, Chicago, IL
Parked in the bike lane on northbound Wells, ironically one door north of Village Cycle
Kinzie St. at Wells St., Chicago
Kinzie St. at Wells St., Chicago, IL
This minivan is parked in the new bike lane on the north side of Kinzie (sorry for the zoomed-in shot) at about 4:30 PM on Tuesday, July 19. The impressive part is that the bike lane has bollards blocking it off from the rest of the road, and this car is inside the bollards and on a green-painted section with a bike logo.
motorcyclist drove for 2 blocks in the bike lane
Milwakee Grand to and Milwakee and Kinzie, Chicago, IL
Moved slower than bikes which had to pass him. Another cyclist told him he needed to get out of the bike lane.
He kept interrupting her to say 'are you a cop?' 'are you a cop?' to the point where she couldn't get a word in edge wise. I turned around to say:
'it doesn't matter if she's a cop. she's right and you're wrong'.
I didn't get a photo of the incident unfortunately. but I did get his license number.
He wasn't turning right, and he was completely unapologetic when confronted with his misdeed. If he apologized or was polite, if he was on a scooter or an electric bike I probably wouldn't have posted.
I posted without a proper picture because I want there to be a record of this license plate linked to his behavior in case there ever is an issue with him in the future. (e.g. he hits someone or causes an accident)
I apologize for not having a required item.

(not sure why the picture orientation is screwed up; it isn't rotated when I look at it on my desktop - sorry about that)
