That's what you get when you park like an asshole

Please be careful! You don't want one of these guys swinging a chain, club, baseball bat, package or other large solid object at you.

Hey dude thanks in part to your great photo work I see this guy got four tickets for parking in the bike lane in just three days last month, on 11/19, two on 11/20 and again on 11/21!!!
What's even more interesting is that if he parks in a traffic lane, the fine is $40 ($115 minus $75 reduction). But a bike lane is $105 ($115 minus $10 reduction). So he is being really dumb by not simply parking in the traffic lane!

I keep a U-lock handy to defend myself.
But seriously, I'm willing to take the risk to highlight what's almost more dangerous than bat wielding maniacs - maniacs and morons parked in bike lanes!

Hey Ace,
Thanks for the analysis of the stipulated fine program reductions for bike lane parking vs. vanilla double parking. when I spoke to the people at DoF last year, I believe they told me that the same 75% discount applies to bike lane parkings as applies to double parking. What you've found is that the bike lane parking is entitled to only a 10% reduction.
Now we just have to get the message through to the bean counters at Fedex, UPS, and DHL that their drivers can helop the bottom line by avoiding bike lanes!
