MyBikeLane

This guy pulled in in his van about a block ahead of my last set of pictures. The entire other side of the street was empty (for street cleaners).

I asked him why he was parking there and that it was illegal. He told me "I'll take the ticket". I badgered him for a bit until he finally agreed to move across the street.

People fear parking on an empty curb for fear of a ticket from the street cleaning crew, but have no fear of parking in the bike lane. I think that is because they know NYPD will not bother w/ them there.
