They illegally park wherever. Block sidewalks. Block bike lanes. Block Crosswalks. Double-park.

Imagine I opened a store selling…I don’t know…chairs. Then I put out chairs

    Another company who has a tow truck might be really happy to know how many of those cars are parked illegally. Find the scummiest one you can too.

    Yeah, it’s insane how entitled people get about using public spaces to store their private metal boxes just because the boxes have wheels.

    Where i live there is a similar stretch of bike path. Ours however has car repair shops on one side of the path snd they use the other side for car fixing. I’ve almost been doored 3 times in that stretch and every day i dodge people who jump out from behind cars like they’re ninjas.

    I have lost my balance trying to fit between cars on both sides like that a few times. A couple shoulder vs mirror matches were had and my summer bike has scraped off paint some of those times.

    Im unusual in that im not anti car parking. Part of this is I have a wife that I can get to use the car far less with my influence but I can’t get her to be ok with not having one. With the right living arrangement Im 100% I could get her and thus us to be driving down to once a month but it would require being closer into the city with a garagaed spot to store the car. That is to expensive though so we are out in the burbs and the car gets drivin multi times a week oftentimes and at least once. I really would like to reduce that. car dealerships are bullshit though and storing cars a big chunk of their costs so putting cars anywhere but property they actually own is theft on their part.

    Put a key in your hand and extend it out in any direction. If the car is in the bike lane. Scratch the ever loving fuck out of the car. Problem solved. They’ll move the cars for sure.

        I do think vandalizing illegally parked cars is a good way to get the city to fine them.

          That’s not the goal though. If the cars are getting damaged, can’t sell them. Wasting the dealers time will most likely get them to move the cars and stop parking them there. Tickets will just turn into cost of business, if they get them at all. Anything else is just icing.

    My hometown has a kenworth plant

    Kenworth has a bad habit of putting huge parking lots for their truck everywhere they can, and then leaving them unattended for months on end.

    Kenworth learned the hard way that they need to keep better control over where they leave their shit, otherwise people who have a reason to hate them (which is a lot of people around there) might fuck with their trucks and cause millions in damages.

    Should cut down a safety window breaker to be glued onto the knuckles of a bike glove and just… roll down the street popping windows.

    That merge point with the bike lane crossing the street has me sketched out. Merging vehicles trying to see past all the parked cars for oncoming traffic, bikes coming up parallel to cross, from behind traffic’s blind spot. Tragedy just waiting to happen.

    Im surprised you didn’t crash into every vehicle encroaching the bike lane.

    At the very least you could’ve dragged a handle bar down the sides. Maybe a brake lever.
