Parked illegally in front of of the convenience store. Plenty of legal parking available nearby, but driver is too lazy.

Typical scene....driver parking illegally in the bike lane in front of convenience store.

Illegally parking your crappy caravan with Leafs vanity plates won't help your favourite team win.

Crown Taxi #1522, license plate ASVC 900. using the bike lane as a passenger drop off area.

Another one at Runnymede and Annette.

Typical scene as motorists park illegally in the bike lane at Runnymede and Annette.

Typical Runnymede Rd. scene.

Just your average bike lane parking spot....

Bike lane stripe, bike symbol, No Parking sign, diamond lane sign, and bike route sign are no match for this minivan, license plate AMAE 994.

As usual....

Just using the bike lane as a parking and drop-off area.

Chevy van, license plate 695 4KW.

Someone is always illegally parked here. This time it's a GMC Sierra, license plate 427 5KD.

Typical scene. Toyota Corolla, license plate 153 LYK.

After taking these photos, I talked to a group of 3 bike cops on the corner across the street. They didn't seem to care about the minivan parked in the bike lane, and said "he's unloading". They even asked me if it's a no parking area, and I had to point out the bike lane signs etc.

I had to point out the Honda parked here as well, and had to keep pushing them to do something about it. When I rode away, they went over to see what was going on with the bike lane parkers. Not sure if they were actually issued tickets....but at least I got the complaints in and they seeme to at least go and talk to the offenders.

Toronto's most prolific bike lane parker.

Bike lane parking is almost always about the convenience of motorists. The collection of shops at Runnymede and Annette is like a magnet for bike lane parkers.

This guy was using the bike lane as a personal parking space while cleaning his car.

There's almost always someone parked here....

Van parked in the bike lane on Runnymede and Annette. I bet at least 50 cars park here every day, as there's almost always one when I go by. There are usually lots of empty legal spaces just a few metres ahead too, but these motorists are too lazy to walk an extra 10 seconds. This one was even too lazy to turn off the engine, so it was left unattended and idling while the driver went to the store, which is also illegal.

License plate 822 ZVN.

A van and trailer blocking the bike lane on Runnymede Rd. at St. Johns Rd. Could have backed up some more not to block so much bike lane.

Van license plate is 282 4NA, and trailer license plate is C51 61X.

This Ambassador Taxi # A97 is sporting the mark of The Beast while parked in the bike lane outside McDonald's at Runnymede and Bloor. A true ambassador of evil.

Another pick-em-up truck on Runnymede, outside the subway station. Well, I guess that's what pickup trucks are for, right?

I didn't bother taking any photos of bike lane violations on Runnymede Rd. for a while. The bike lanes were uselessly full of snow anyway. I actually preferred it that way, rather than the already useless doorzone bike lanes.

Anyway, the lanes and parking areas are mostly cleared of snow now after all the warm weather. Now motorists have no excuse for parking there.

This pickup truck is in the usual place on Runnymede at Annette, by the variety store.

Typical to find people parked here infront of McDonald's and the Runnymede Subway station, at any time of day not just rush hour. This was at about 1:00pm.

More of the usual. Illegally parked in the bike lane, when there were plenty of empty legal spaces just to the south of here.

parked in a bike lane at a bus stop. Isn't there a parking lot for the business this truck is parked in front of?

People always park their cars here. If the city doesn't enforce it, they could at least put in some parking meters or something. :)

The sticker on the back of this unattended idling minivan in the bike lane brings a tear to my eye: "I Believe in Sick Kids".

Yeah, well I believe in *healthy* kids, LAVDEEP.

This taxi driver pulled up in the bike lane behind me just as I was taking the photos of the previous van. Snap snap...and another set of photos for the collection.

Parked in the bike lane....lots of free spots just south of here. Same old story....lazy motorists.

Is it always necessary for truck drivers to park in the bike lane during the morning rush hour? There are always free spaces just north of here.

This section of bike lane is pretty useless at the best of times. The pavement is borderline rubble, it's almost completely in the door-zone, and you get people parking in it all the time. In this case it's a huge truck parked facing the wrong direction.

It's OK to park in the bike lane to shuffle your fat ass into the McD's, as long as you put your blinkers on.

Typical scene in front of Runnymede subway station. Cars line up here in the bike lane for drop offs / pick ups, or to park and go to the McDonald's.

This guy honked at me while I was taking photos. I guess guess he supports mybikelane.com. Thanks!

Parked right in front of the last one. This happens all the time....one person parks in the bike lane, then others follow because they think it's OK.

Lane stripe, bike symbol, bike route sign, and No Parking sign don't do much about that.

Nevermind "Neighbourhood Watch". I should put up some "Bike Lane Watch" signs here. :)

Standard stuff...people park their cars in the bike lane on Runnymede at Annette, even though there are ALWAYS empty spaces just a few metres to the south.

A whole bunch of empty parking spaces, but the driver chose to just park in the bike lane.

Another...same place.

As always...someone parked here.

More of the same on Runnymede at Annette

A shitload of legal, open parking spaces behind him, and this guy still parks in the bike lane.

Lots of free spaces on the other side of the street, or just a little further up the block. Chose to block the bike lane instead.

I've seen this one here a few times now.

Big pickup and trailer blocking the bike lane and part of the regular lane on Runnymede at Annette. First plate photo is the truck, second is the trailer.

Blocking the lane on Runnymede at Annette. didn't get license plate though.

While biking on my way to work this morning traffic was backed up on Runnymede south of Dundas. I found one of the city's Green P vans (A-61) DRIVING in the bike lane on Runnymede from before St. John's up to Dundas. I caught up and passed him, stopped at the corner to whip out my digicam and snapped a shot of him going by. The second photo shows the bike lane and the long line of traffic that he used the bike lane to bypass.

Purolator truck on Runnymede. Right next to a big, mostly empty parking lot at the Runnymede Health Centre where the package was being delivered.

Typical scene.... Someone parked outside the McDonald's at Runnymede Station. This time it's DanMac Plumbing & Drain Ltd.

Third one....pulled in just as I was taking photos of the other two.

Lazy ass convenience store patrons, can't walk an extra few metres....

In the second photo you can see another car in the bike lane to the north. It was broken down and being worked on, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Could have pushed it out of the lane though...ohwell.
