College St, half a block West of Spadina, Toronto, ON
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.

St George St north of Harbord/Hoskin, Toronto, ON
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.
Wellesley Street, west of Bay St, Toronto, ON
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.
Harbort Street, west of Major, Toronto, ON
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.
College and Beverley, Toronto, ON
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?)
St George and College, NE, Toronto, ON
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.
