I rarely see this in Portland Oregon. When I do see a car parked in the bike line here it tends to be scraped up and bashed in. Hard to say if the car was damaged because it was in the bike lane though.
Slap a sticker on it (this one is from Lake Tahoe):
If you do this put rubber cement on the sticker to make sure it stays
Car people feel entitled to shade for some reason. People block my driveway all the fucking time because it’s one of the only shaded spots on the street.
Just get a beater bike and start running into the cars
this is not legal advice
Thats how Casey Neistat got his youtube start back in 2012 or so.
The bike lane in NYC was blocked by some bullshit, so he peddled over into the road and a cop ticketed him for riding in the road. So he decided to just ride straight into any obstacle in the bike lane, including construction, delivery trucks, and cop cars. The video went viral, which back then meant something.
The kicker? The ticket was bullshit. He broke no laws by joining the lane. The cop just made shit up and fined him $50, which he unknowingly paid.
Just carry a hammer.
I dont even bike.
Get a bike with stud tyres and make a tire track right down the middle of the car as if a bike had just driven over the car.
That's closer to what I was thinking. Most of the suggestions in here are outright vandalism which is an asymmetric response and not very defensible. But if you're physically capable, depending on traffic conditions, I'd feel like the safest route to go is over the top of the car. I'd do it for a car-shaped rock, so a car-shaped car is no different.
This is universal. Wherever you are in the world, if there is a bike path or a bike lane, there will be cars parked on it.
I went to the small caribbean island of Marie-Galante last year and rented a bike. The only bike path on the island has cars parked in it.
Well, I had to park somewhere...
Yeah, still illegal.
If you are lucky, you'll be able to overtake without the passenger opening the door on you.
Aiming for the shade i see...
It’s a shame that somebody slashed their tires…
I see this pretty much every time I ride. Multiple times. 😮💨
Hopefully nobody breaks a window
You can submit these types of observations to Bicycle Uprising app. More oriented towards having a strong complication o data.
Bike lock through the window
Counterintuitively, the smaller windows are usually the most expensive
