I commute 5km each way to work, 5 days a week. I do my best to defend the measly 90 kilometres of bike lanes that we have in Toronto.
If you were caught in a bike lane by me, please just apologise, move on, and don't do it again. There is no excuse for parking in a bike lane ... ever ... so don't try to argue about it.
Bay and king, Toronto, ON
This was taken at 8am northbound on Bay St between King and Adelaide. What hope do cyclists have when there are more cars in the bike lane than there are in the 'car' lane?

I gave this guy the opportunity to move, he aggressively declined, so I called the parking cops on him.

... waiting for someone and blocking bikes & traffic.
This is my last post for the season, I'm travelling abroad until Christmas.
Happy cycling.
333 COLLEGE ST, Toronto, ON
Another Budget car parked in the bike lane on college

Everyone knows that hazard lights negate all parking violations.
Personally I think it indicates laziness as in, "Sorry, but I'm too lazy to park legally"

Today there were FOUR Coach Canada buses parked outside the Mariott on Bay St. I only took a picture of one of them.
I also noticed that this is actually a tow-away zone. I think I'll be adding a few tow-truck companies to my cell phone contacts :)
300 bay st, Toronto, ON
I took the liberty of calling the "How's my driving?" number on the back of this truck to let them know that, well, your driving's not so hot.
college and mccaul, Toronto, ON
This guy sat here for 5 minutes blocking the lane, and then proceeded to drive in the bike lane for about 100m once his son showed up a little further down the street. Nice work.
This is my 100th posting. Not bad, given that I only started posting at the start of this summer.

Why do these guys have to block the bike lane to repair the traffic lights?
The traffic lights were installed to control the congestion caused by CARS, not bikes, so block the car lane instead.
525 bay st, Toronto, ON
This anonymous bus company was parked outside the Mariott on Bay. The driver was adamant that there was nothing he could do.
How about parking legally for a change, birdbrain?
bay and adelaide, Toronto, ON
There's *always* somebody parked here blocking the bike lane
bay and adelaide, Toronto, ON
Just making a delivery at the usual spot on Bay St.
bay and temperance, Toronto, ON
The Beer Store guys insist on using the bike lane for their deliveries instead of the loading docks.
college and henry, Toronto, ON
These guys are often here, at the same spot on College. They have a ramp on the back of the truck that drops down right into the bike lane.
bay and temperance, Toronto, ON
Clearly Posties hate cyclists. 2 in one day on the same street.
bay and adelaide, Toronto, ON
More construction vehicles parked in the bike lane on Bay St.
Will the police EVER enforce this bike lane?

This moron got out of his car and started abusing me for taking the photos. He said "If I wasn't out on parole right now I'd beat the shit out of you". Glad to see you've been reformed.
Guess what, mate? I get the last laugh. I have a photo of your license plate and I'm on the phone with the police right now filing a complaint.
bay and college, Toronto, ON
Construction workers seem to think that bike lanes are made just so they can park outside their worksite.
college and huron, Toronto, ON
I was surprised that this guy was able to read the sticker I stuck on his bumper. He clearly couldn't read the 'bike lane' sign that he parked under.
bay and adelaide, Toronto, ON
I took the liberty of calling the "how's my driving" number on the back of this truck to report the violation to his employer.
Hopefully they'll reprimand him.
college and ross, Toronto, ON
... blocking the bike lane while my husband runs an errand.
Do you like my new snazzy stickers? I normally stick them on after taking the pics but I did it the other way around this time.
college and palmerston, Toronto, ON
This is the 3rd time in a week that I've caught this bozo in exactly the same spot. Chimpanzees learn faster than that.
college and brunswick, Toronto, ON
This person seems to prefer bike lanes to the perfectly good parking spot he/she pulled up next to.
bay and dundas, Toronto, ON
Bay St outside Canadian Tire is a popular spot for bike lane violators. This lady shook her head like I was the one in the wrong when I took her picture.
college and palmerston, Toronto, ON
2nd violation in a week for this idiot.
I had a long conversation with him but his attitude was, "What can I do?". I replied that he could have used the parking space that was available about 10m in front of him. He scoffed, like legal parking was such an inconvenience.
College and Euclid, Toronto, ON
Do motorists think bike lanes don't apply on Friday? It seems that Fridays are the worst days for bike lane violations.
Kind of ironic when you consider the BikeFriday initiative.
