Elm Street - From Doug

A couple more from Doug, thanks for the contribution.

 While cycling west on Elm St. Just west of Treat St. This morning, this truck was parked in the bike lane. There just happen to be a student commuting to The UofA at the same time so we took this picture. This was about 9:30am


When I returned along the same Elm St route east bound this time, a block west of the earlier photo this car was parked in the bike lane. As you can see in the photo, the truck is still there 3 hours later.

White Toyota SUV - Ina heading west

This driver was erratic and aggressive. Spent a great deal of time either in or crowding the bike lane.




White Prius - North Campbell

Invaded the bike lane on every single turn.



White Lexus - Oracle

What more is there to say. This woman was on her phone the entire time. Very dangerous driver.


A Freaking Bus !!!

I don't know about you, but, my personal nemesis on the roads are the Sun Tran drivers. Few seem to have any regard for the lives of cyclists.

Silver Toyota SUV - Oracle north of Suffolk

That's not a travel lane! Patience is a virtue.



Silver Merc SUV - North Campbell

Another thoughtless road user.






Silver Buick - Kino and Broadway

Another one who can't wait for a travel lane to clear.

Grey Infiniti - North Campbell - At dawn

This driver is particularly dangerous. This is right at dawn, this driver was on the phone, wandering and in the bike lane in every single corner.





Grey Chevy Tahoe - Campbell and Grant

This driver decided that the bike was was the appropriate place to park while waiting for the light to turn green.

Grey Audi - North Campbell

Mr. Audi is impatient, rude, reckless, thoughtless, he's also a tailgater, phone user and bike lane bandit.

Grey Acura SUV - Campbell & Skyline

Cause, you know, waiting sucks.



Grey Acura - Campbell

I followed this driver from Glenn all the way to River. She spent the entire drive in the bike lane or on the line crowding the bike lane.







Chevy PU - North Campbell - Utah tags

This guy spent more time in the bike lane than he did in the car lane.






Black Kia - Skyline heading east

Princess Kia was on the phone the whole time. Wandering all over the road, including deep in the bike lane several times.



Black Ford PU - North Campbell

I guess I have to give him credit for pulling over to use his phone.


However, the place his chose in the bike lane where cyclists can easily be traveling 30 mph was poor.

White Nissan - Mt. Lemmon Hwy near MP 5

This one comes to us from Doug.

A group of cyclists riding the mountain came upon this scene with a parked, unoccupied car in the bike lane. As demonstrated, this forces cyclists out into the main travel lane.

Silver Ford PU - North Campbell

I could write a whole blog on this guy. This is just a small sampling of the pictures I have. He was all over the road, including as shown, a lot of time in the bike lane. There is something on the dashboard  that had a lot of his attention.





Black VW - Campbell and Grant

This is a very common scene at this intersection. "Ooops, I'm in a turn only lane." Followed by a thoughtless move like this.



Hey,...! What's this? A guy on a bike who wants to use the *gasp* bike lane.
