It's quite a magic trick--watch motorists make this "buffered bike lane" totally disappear under their wheels! And with it goes all the safety and health benefits intended when the city put in the lane.

The curb is red. Every motorist knows what that means. If only there were an agency charged with enforcing laws barring this sort of illegality...

These Coach 21 buses feel the need to pull half way into the bus stop (which I'm not even sure it is legal for them to use). There is plenty of room in front of the bus for the driver to pull forward and clear the bus of the bike lane.

Also, this is on the north end of the Ferry Building so after dodging taxis and double parked cars, there is a small stretch of bike lane before I have to retake the right lane because of this bus. After taking the right lane for this amount of time, the drivers behind me are usually annoyed and very aggressive.

The new "protected bikeway" on JFK isn't officially open yet, but that hasn't stopped motorists from jumping the gun and shutting it down to bike traffic ahead of schedule. With SFPD's allergy to opening bike lanes to bike traffic, this new "protected" lane promises lots of free parking for motorists who don't mind breaking the law and getting away with it.

This shuttle bus was hanging out in the bike lane on outbound Townsend betw 7th and 8th during Friday rush hour. No apparent sense of urgency, no hazard blinkers. I stopped to chat with him and he turned his hazards on.

Southbound Embarcadero near Folsom. This Acura had to skirt into the bike lane to avoid blocking the box.

Is that the driver can't make believe they don't see you...

A succession of four cyclists speaking to her and me taking her photo eventually persuaded her to move. "Yes" she was aware she was double parked in a bike lane, "yes" she noticed that bikers were dodging her...

Her vanity plate, EK BALAM means "black jaguar" in Mayan, times being what they are, looks like she had to settle with a red Saab convertible.

This guy clearly thought that a white van blocking the bike lane branching off of Market St and UPHILL to 17th was a perfectly good reason to park there himself.

The sign above notes that stopping for commercial trucks (unloading goods for the liquor stoor right there) is permitted during weekdays from 9am-5pm, but that all other traffic is prohibited.

Didn't move even as I dismounted my bike, walked on the sidewalk to the passenger-side window and stared in.

This guy was parked right in front of the "no stopping" sign, and didn't budge as I stood behind his car with my elbows on my handlebars.

He finally got the message as I pulled out my phone, but not fast enough.

I saw this guy park outside Starbucks, get in a line that led nearly out the door, and collect his coffee while nearly 50 cyclists swerved, trying to avoid the car as they approached the light.

This cowboy was hanging outside the California Culinary Academy talking to a couple of students and smoking a cigarette.

I parked my bike, went in to the Starbucks on the corner, came out 15 minutes later and he was still there, watching the morning rush-hour bike traffic swerving to avoid his extra-wide pickup.

But of course, why worry about anything when no one can see your license plate? That was clever of him.

He started reversing when he realized I wasn't going to just go around, but realized it would be unsafe to continue as he was backing into a freeway entrance.

He stopped, clearly deciding it would be better that I, with my more maneuverable vehicle, ride blind into the intersection with no visibility or wiggle-room.

She knew it was wrong to park in the bike lane - especially during rush hour - but didn't care until she got busted.

Folsom St. during rush hour, and CPUH383 was lucky enough to find a parking space.

This driver was busy reading the GPS on his cell phone and was apparently so lost that he couldn't find the parking space directly to his right.

I think the next time I'm lost, I'll park my bicycle in the middle of the street while I read my GPS. I'm sure drivers will have all the patience in the world with me.

This jerk was parked in the bike lane on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. There was an open loading space directly behind the white car, but the driver felt it was more appropriate to put cyclists at risk while he parked for over 10 minutes in our lane.
