drifting cop

T and 7th Sts. NW, Washington dc, DC

DC's finest didn't feel like staying out of the bike lane. By the time I got the camera out he had drifted back a bit; the previous couple of blocks the cruiser was another foot or two into the bike lane. Didn't seem to be any particular reason for it...

welcome to 1st street N.E

810 1st Street, N.E., Washington dc, DC

after taking this, the lady ordered me up to her car, asked why I was taking a picture- I told her she parked in a bike lane and even had an open parking slot in which to slip in. She cussed me out and said she was waiting on someone getting dialysis. (sign on the door said the place was closed- my guess is paying a water bill) She claimed to be an officer. (all the more reason to follow the law) On the other side of street two patrol cars are parked, in the lane on the other side, metro van is parked behind her, leaving only one lane of traffic to get though- so much for bikes on this impassable street.

Cabbie took a pizza break

14th and E. Capitol NE, Washington dc, DC

I was riding down 14th St and saw a cabbie double park his car right in the bike lane and go into Al's for what was presumably a slice of pizza.

Dumb Smart

3382 11th St., NW, Washington, DC

This guy apparently thought it was ok to park the wrong way in a parking space and block half the bike lane. I realize there's no IQ test for buying small cars with mediocre fuel efficiency, but this is particularly dumb.

Blocking the way

13th and Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington dc, DC

Just a moment before a column of traffic had past, but this guy still had to veer around a car on 13th and Massachusetts. The bike lane south of Thomas Circle becomes a default parking lot most evenings (and during the day). Taxis also like to idle in the bike lane on this block.
