summer 2014: 1st
 |
| two vehicles in the bike lane, one obviously within 6m of the crosswalk. the police van carefully passes and lets them be. |
may 2014: 1st
 |
| i love how this cop is admiring from a distance, thinking, "what a beautiful spot to pull someone over." |
 |
| these cars are just doing a conga line, diagonally across the bike lane |
apr 22 2014: 1st and main
 |
| there is a lot going on here: construction on both sides, the eastbound bike lane disappears (you can see two cyclists taking the lane), a big pile of earth in the road and cops parked in the westbound bike lane |

every single day on my commute, i see people driving unsafely. it seems
the mere sight of a cyclist riding assertively and respectfully causes a
knee-jerk reaction in some people. part of the reason is that police
are mostly car drivers too. there is little enforcement of traffic laws
against car drivers driving like idiots on bike routes. instead of
making the roads safer, police officers (like this one using his vehicle as a weapon) work to keep non-motorized road users in line. their job
is not safety, but enforcement of the status quo.
march 2014: quebec
 |
| the new northbound bike lane on quebec has been blocked by construction activity all winter. behind the dumpster there's a sign reserving parking for emergency vehicles. |
feb 1 2014: yukon and 7th
 |
| basically, if you've got high-vis pylons in your truck, you can park wherever it's convenient. there was no construction happening on yukon. |

riding in new york city bike lanes
many people have pointed out a video to me someone made about what it's like to ride in the bike lanes of new york city. the cyclist was ticketed by police for not riding in a bike lane, so he decided to do an experiment...
