Bike Lane Submissions
Killer Limo Driver
91st Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue, New york, NY
While riding in the bike lane on East 91st street I heard furious honking behind me; as I turned to look this driver veered from the bike lane behind me, gave me the finger and yelled an obscenity, then veered in front of me. This aggressive behavior was bizarre as I was riding leisurely in the bike lane and there was little traffic on the street at the time. Drivers hate bicyclists.

In morning traffic, this truck left room for cyclists.
Hostile repeat offender
5th avenue and east 11th st, New york, NY
This guy was pretty hostile, driving up quickly beside me and almost hitting me to ask me why I took a photo of his truck. I told him why and that it would be on the internet. Smile!
Livery cabs at the Marriott
Adams St, Brooklyn, NY
Had to get the front plate as the driver would not let me get his back plate.
Livery parked in bike lane, blocking fire hydrant, and encouraged to do so by the Marriott
Adams St, Brooklyn, NY
More law breaking encouraged. Had to work hard to get these photos. Apparently more and more cyclists are taking pictures of cars. As soon as I rolled up, the drivers who were all standing around smoking would run up ad stand in front of their plates (knowing they were breaking the law).
More livery cabs in the bike lane at the Marriott
Adams St, Brooklyn, NY
Are these guys even allowed to pick up fares on the street like this? Or did the Marriott call them to sit camped out in the bike lane?

Again, encouraged by Marriott and the NYPD does nothing. This is a corporation using public space to make money, while at the same time putting cyclists at risk.

This guy had a placard in his dash as well. NYPD breaking the law.
More Marriott or NYPD parking violations in the bike lane
Adams St, Brooklyn, NY
So many on just one day.
Marriott and NYPD encourage bike lane violations
Adams St, Brooklyn, NY
And during bike month as well!
More NYPD / Marriott abuse of public property
Adams St, Brooklyn, NY
So many! Why does the city even waste the time and money to paint this bike lane?
Adams St is a joke thanks to the Marriott and the NYPD!
Adams St, Brooklyn, NY
After hearing some complaints about the abuse of the bike lane on Adams St in downtown Brooklyn (leading up to the Brooklyn Bridge), I changed my morning commute route to check it out.
I was shocked! Nearly 30 pictures later, and some confrontations w/ livery drivers, I finally got back on my way to work.
Marriott is hugely to blame here, but the NYPD is abusing their placards in a pretty blatant fashion (most did not even have placards and instead put various bits of NYPD paraphernalia on their dash).
Pictures to follow.
