If you do this put rubber cement on the sticker to make sure it stays
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.
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.
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.
this guy's an ass and so are the people that block your driveway.
but summer's rough for a girl with black leather seats.
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.
it's very rare here in sweden, presumably because 99.93% of our bike paths are just widened sidewalks or fully separate from the
the only thing you'll regularly see "parked" on them is mail vehicles, but those are small moped-classed things these days and generally don't even block the whole width.
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.
I see this pretty much every time I ride. Multiple times. 😮💨
It’s a shame that somebody slashed their tires…
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
Oh is this a fun fact like most insurance only covers all four tires, not three?
How could Toyota do this?
Hopefully nobody breaks a window
people are going to have to bike past on the road, which is scary, so it wouldn't be surprising if they try to stay as far to the side as possible and accidentally scrape the handlebar against the side of the car..
Aiming for the shade i see...
