I have been biking regularly since 2006 as a commuter. Usually i bike with traffic on the road so i don’t see much of a bike lane. If you see me or my orange Bianchi, feel free to say hello.

Trailer and RV in the lane

nw 64th and 8th nw, Seattle, WA

Sorry about the dark photo it was taken at about 11:30 pm. This RV and trailer were far to big for the standard parking and out into the bike lane.

Can't Wait For The Light

nw 54th st and 32nd ave nw, Seattle, WA

This Toyota couldn’t wait for the light to change and stopped on the Burke-Gilman Trail. It was like this: There was a red light for the car and a green for the perpendicular bike trail. I stopped to take a photo as I saw five cyclists almost hit this car.

Cell Phone Talker

20th ave w and w dravus st, Seattle, WA

This cell phone talker was parked right in front of the sign that says, “Magnolia Bike Route, Scenic Loop” with plenty of parking in front and behind. When I stopped to take the photos I saw three cyclists swerve onto 20th Ave W.

SUV Downtown Can't Park

2nd and marion, Seattle, WA

While riding south (in my friends car) I got out my camera to take a picture of this silver SUV parked over the line in the bike lane. There was a still lot of room to the curb.

EWV244

myrtle edwards park, Seattle, WA

To be honest, I almost didn’t post this. This white van that was driving toward me on the left (wrong) side of the dedicated bike path was a King County Parks van #EWV244. Sure she was probably doing something official, but couldn’t she have parked in a parking lot and then used a cart, or walked?

Happy Hooker

Elliott Bay park, Seattle, WA

This car wasn’t technically in the bikeway when I took this photo. It is parked very close. The odd thing is that there are no roads to this shop, the Happy Hooker. So it must have driven on the dedicated bike lane to get there.

Truck at the fuelling station

8th and leary, Seattle, WA

This truck was so far out in the road that it was blocking the bike land and a lane of regular traffic. The truck wasn’t making a delivery, but fuelling up with diesel. These bike lanes are new/ not even fully painted, but will connect to the Burke-Gilman Trail. I didn’t get a chance to take a good photo of the two plates on the truck or trailers.

Not quite in the parking spot

nw 64th and 8th, Seattle, WA

This van wasn’t quite against the curb filling the bike lane in back. This was the middle of the day, but at rush hour it can get quite crowded here.

Taxi Parked on the Burke-Gilman Trail

N Northlake Place and N Northlake Way, Seattle, WA

Durring the Fremont Fair/ Solstice Parade, this yellow cab was parked on the foot path and the bike lane. Forcing us to ride on the wrong side of the street to get around. This was after the King County driver tried to get him to move.
