That blue-roofed building you see in the background is Toronto Police Headquarters. Go figure.

(Bike lane sign rather ineptly highlighted).

I'm parked in the bike lane outside the Sutton Place Hotel. Ergo, I am important.

Bike lane as passing lane, again. And repeatedly, north on Bay.

So this guy was using the bike lane as a passing lane, going north from Queen on Bay. But not just as a passing lane, as a fun obstacle course, using cyclists as pylons. When called on his crap by two cyclists he turned up his stereo. And, going for the hat trick, he played air guitar for us, to indicate his concern over our safety.

Why is it that the companies with "security" or "guaranteed" in their slogans or advertising are the ones that guarantee cyclists be so... insecure?

Y'know, every day there's another reason why I'm happy I dropped Bell as my phone service provider.

So, this guy zipped north on Bay, through the business district, using the bike lane as a passing lane, actually honking at cyclists as he swerved within feet of their rightful paths. A few blocks up, he found the bike lane useful for parking. Didn't like having his photo taken and honked at me as I passed by.

I told him to search for his plate number on Google tomorrow. Welcome to the semipermanence of the Interwebs, jerk.

It's a cavalcade of Coke offenses!

There are two side streets and a rear shipping entrance to this set of buildings. But, hey, why not use the bike lane?

Note the cyclist forced into the auto lane, and the car swerving to avoid. Thanks, Canada Post!

(Must've been mere seconds after pards' sighting!)

This guy stops in the bike lane outside the medical building at the corner of Bay and College ALL THE TIME. Oh, there's a loading dock around the corner. But he needs to fill those compressed-gas tanks right there, with pedestrians passing by and, oh, by the way, cyclists mere feet from the nozzles of his tank. Safe!

I'm just... delivering this dry cleaning!

Interior of truck lightened to show lounging delivery personnel. No stopping, no parking, bike lane.

I've been riding my bicycle on Bay Street every month for the past 20 years, twice a day during nonwinter business days. I've seen police ticketing motorists exactly ONCE, of the thousands of bike/bus/taxi lane violations I've witnessed.

Police have stopped me twice during this same period, to make sure my bell was working. While this was happening, dozens of cars sped past in the bike/bus/taxi lane.

Note the driver enjoying a nice, relaxing coffee with some passerby while forcing cyclists into the non-bike lane.
