Driver pulling over to ... rummage in her bag. QQE is so wide and traffic is so light she could probably have pulled over outside the bike lane and still been okay.

Parked in the bike lane while working on a TTC bus stop. Breaking city laws while working on city property - nice irony.

It's the Bloor West Village equivalent of a drive-thru: parking in the bike lane while sauntering in to McDonald's. Also: the delivery spot of choice for the next round of Big Macs.

There's a Canada Post facility on Keele St., between Dundas West and Annette. Canada Post park their large trucks in the westbound bike lane on Annette St. very frequently. And not just to stop quickly. Often there is no driver in the truck, and I have even seen them sleeping at the wheel.

Equally disturbing is the fact that at least one Canada Post cyclist working out of this facility is a total douchebag. Yesterday he left the facility with mail bags around his shoulders. As I waited for a red light a bit further ahead, he blew through the light passing me on the right and hit me with one of his bags. Then proceeded to wobble around in and out of the bike lane for the next few blocks. (Note: The cyclist in the photo is NOT the douchebag from Canada Post)

Toronto Police cruiser parked in bike lane in front of a 'No Stopping' sign, even with abundant parking space available on the other side of the road.

The officer was no where to be seen.

Unit #: 5231
Plate: BDBN 100 ON

Snapple delivery vechile, owned and operated by Allmart Distributing Inc on St George St, north of Sussex Ave, blocking both the northbound car and bike lanes. The driver didn't even have the dignity to face the correct direction either.

Chip Wagon, vendor license #418 on St George St north of College St.

Note the OPP Parking Enforcement officer on the right.

Not only do they deliver a forest worth of paper nobody needs. But they do it while parked in the bike lane.

UPS truck # 661472, plate 886 3W9 ON, parked illegally on Annette St, Toronto, ON.

June 7th, 2010, 1:51pm

This UPS truck driver completely blocked the designated bike lane on the North side of College St about half a block west of Spadina. After he returned to his truck, I pulled alongside and reminded him that it is illegal to park in a bike lane. In response, he went off on a tirade and verbally abused me. Worse, when I cycled off he CHASED ME for a block and a half (including a turn!), threatening me by his driving and yelling at me. Fortunately, I used evasive manoeuvres and escaped. I have reported him to UPS.

Parked car straddling bike lane. Also, alloted parking space for cars is too narrow. Most parked cars on this street section can't help but straddle the bike lane. This driver, however, was extra careless.

Every morning (7:40 +/-) the Beck's taxis congregate for some reason and block the bike lane north of Carlton. There is an open parking area a bit further up the the taxis, often a dozen or more, overflow into the bike lane. I have contacted Beck's and the police cycling number with no effect. BOYCOTT BECK'S TAXIS.

This happens all the time at the funeral home at Annette and Keele.
The only reason I don't stop and yell every time is out of respect for the dead...

What more is there to say? That has to be at least three feet to the curb.

The driver here was apparently waiting for a spot to open in this short stretch of College. They would back up then pull forward and then back up again for little other reason than to cause as much of a distraction as possible. It was cold, but when there is a side street with ample free parking just a few metres west, how lazy are you?

Toronto Parking Enforcement officers frequently park illegally...so they can hand out parking tickets.

I said "you need to be a role model. What example are you setting"?

He said "call the city if you don't like it".

Parked for about 20 mins. The female driver came in to Starbucks, saw the line and returned to the van. I thought she may have realized she was parked illegally for an expensive coffee. Nope, just waited in the truck and came back in once the line was about one person shorter.

So i was toiling away in yeah olde bike store on Friday, when I glanced outside and noticed a car parked in the bike lane. I thought nothing of it. A lot of times cars park for a couple of minutes to answer a phone call or pick up a son or daughter from the local high school. I have learned in the past that by the time I get out there to tell them to move, they have already moved on. I usually give them a couple of minutes before I ask them to move on.

Well this feller was taking his good old time getting the heck out of the lane so i decided to take action. I have also learned from past experience that getting angry with people never works, so I put on my best pleasant face, the one that I keep behind the counter for bike lane parkers and went to have a chat.

He rolled down and looked at me with disinterest. The first thing that I noticed was that he was reading a book so I knew that he was going to be there for a while.

"Hi, you're parked in a bike lane, would you be able to move."

"No"

"Do you really have to park here?"

"I am working," he said. It was then that it donned on me that he was an undercover cop.

"What you working at?" I asked.

He wrestled around in his seat until he was able to liberate his wallet from his pants and flipped me his badge.

"Well do you have to park here?" I asked, knowing full well he could park anywhere he wanted.

"I'm working."

So I left it at that. I walked back into the shop with visions of me pounding his head off his steering wheel, screaming, "Fucking pig fucking pig!!!" over and over again. I have no idea what he was working on except getting through the next chapter of his book.

So I could only do what anyone could do on these occasions. I got my camera and took a couple of pictures. If you notice the second picture has a cop car in the background. For a few seconds I thought about calling him over, but I knew he would be just as disinterested as the first cop.

Infuriating is not the word that I could describe at how I was feeling, but I did get some satisfaction of knowing that I could at least put his car on the Interweb and hopefully some kids who might be busted for smoking weed would see him first and get away.

The worst part of this is that it was two days after the Police Service Board considered Allen Heisey's deputation to enforce the bike lanes more as well as double the fines for parking in the bike lane.

Fucking pigs.

Over the last few days, the media has been reporting that there is a push to increase fines for parking in the bike lanes, and to increase enforcement. Obviously hasn't started yet.

Toronto Police vehicle #11S1 (Supervisor), license plate BEYY 864.

The officer could clearly be seen inside a restaurant getting some takeout food.

There was an article in The Toronto Star's online version talking about cars parking in bike lanes.

Three feet from the curb ought to be enough.

If you're going to block the car lane anyhow, why go half way?

This truck was stopped in the northbound bike lane on St George St in the heart of the UofT downtown campus, north of Harbord St near the Rotman biz school. The truck forced me out into the traffic. I explained why he should move. Giving me a withering look, to his credit he did move.

Good to see the Toronto Police 11 Division protecting the Annette St. bike lane from illegal parking as they grab some breakfast.

License plate AVSA 127, car number 1205.

Wellesley Street east of Queen's Park is an important safe(ish!) corridor for bicyclists (and skateboarders). Recently the road markings were upgraded with new chevrons painted. This Canada Post employee decided to park with his front bumper over a chevron. Meh.

This woman couldn't be bothered parking legally; she stopped instead in the bike lane (near designated bike lane signs) so she could walk the fewest steps to the front door. When challenged verbally, she had no dis/ability reason for this manoeuvre.

This Penske truck completely blocked the bike lane on College St Eastbound, just East of the intersection with Beverley St.
(PS: the Starbucks right next to where this rental van was stopped was renovating - maybe their workers put the van there?)

This occurred on the University of Toronto campus, on Saint George Street northbound just north of its intersection with College Street. The people in the photo were loading his bike into a stopped grey Matrix crossover suv/stationwagon. Driven, I think, by his mother. Talk about narcissism.

Good to see that City of Toronto Parking Enforcement vehicle PKW30, license plate AYCA 758 is doing such a good job at keeping the bike lane clear of parked motor vehicles.

There was nobody inside the vehicle, nor anywhere visible on the street.

Blue GMC Safari, license plate ACFD 857. Westbound on Annette just before Keele St.

If you look closely, you'll see the red Subaru from the previous post driving by. :)

"What are you doing?"
"I'm taking your picture of your car!"
"Why?"
"Because you're parked illegally in the bike lane!"
"I'm just picking someone up!"
"It's still a bike lane. There are plenty of other spaces to park nearby. These photos will be posted on mybikelane.com soon."

Hope you found the website!

New bike lane, already full of parked cars on a regular basis. Though the situation HAS improved a little since they finally installed the "No Stopping" signs.

This Nissan Maxima, license plate BBTX 361 was parked on the sidewalk and in the bike lane on Annette St., just west of Dundas St. W.

Unusually, this was in the evening. I typically see cars parked here in the morning when parents clog up the bike lane, road, and sidewalk dropping their kids off at school.

This guy was pissed off when I told him why I was taking a picture. He was buffed up from time at the gym and clearly did not like being told he was ever in the wrong. I promised him he'd be on the internet anyway.

Delivery completed. Have a nice day, thug.

(There was also a UPS driver in the background, but that arrived after I passed by that area.)

"I might move if you threaten me with something. Like a camera."

And about 60 seconds later. Oh, look, a bicyclist shadow. La la la.

"This is Death Trap Road. Nothing new to see here. Move along (around me) now."

* "Except those bloody bicyclists."

(Those work cones don't protect you, cabbie.)

"What more do you two-wheeled nazis want from me?"
