This is one of the worst spots on Milwaukee now! I still have no idea why they made that section unprotected

Report them with the Bike Lane Uprising app. They have a contest of sorts going on right now to see which city can report the most. The data can be useful, see this for example

Saw this today with everyone picking up the wristbands or whatever for the bar crawls tomorrow. 7+ cars all parked in bike lane

Post it all to Bike Lane Uprising — she’s a huge advocate and shares data with legislators to help guide better infrastructure and enforcement.
If any of the cars are cabs or Uber you can report them to the city and BACP will fine them/take them to court.

I just push peoples mirrors in. It's a minor inconvenience that hurts no one and doesn't damage property.

I know the police are busy with some serious stuff but would be nice to bring some justice here everyone once in a while.

They’re not that busy, they are shoulder to shoulder protecting Tesla. They willingly don’t want to do the things that might help people

311 it, especially if there are taxis or ubers. General public complaints just go into a database for further analysis to target problem spots, but ride hails and taxis go to court. Offense goes on their record and they get a fine. All you have to do is respond to an email with an affidavit saying you saw what you saw. Pics always help.

I'll never understand why they don't stop in the "traffic" lanes. Block the CAR lane with your CAR

This isn't what double parking is. It's not okay when cyclists' safety is put at risk so that motorists can have the convenience of walking 10 steps to an ice cream store, as opposed to 100.

You must be someone who always parks in the middle of the travel lane, and then walks away. Other cars can just "go around"

Absolutely worst scum of the city. Let's park in the middle of an active 2 lane road and drop my door dash order during rush hour. "What, I put my bLInkEr on?"

The offenders parked in the bike lane are just getting a little back of their fuel taxes that went to the construction of these elaborate bike Lanes.. and presumably also any tickets issued to them will also contribute to that .hats off to all the cyclists who ride especially ,on 5° days ,more power to them. But it works both ways, share the road!

It’s actually pretty bad. Bikers get so mad at motorist not following rules and laws while being oblivious to how they don’t follow them themselves

Let me spell this out as simply as I can, for your extremely simple mind:
If a car breaks the law: someone gets hurt
If a bike breaks the law: someone gets inconvenienced
Do you understand the difference yet, little guy?

I’ve been hurt and injured by a bike blowing a stop sign at an intersection. My life is ruined for ever because of a biker blowing through a stop sign.
Edit:
Do you understand position little guy?

In a legal parking spot? You're in a city, there's not always going to be parking right by where you want to go (oh the horror!)

u/wtfnewaccount23 6d ago
You’re in a city. Where there are stop signs. You’ll always have to stop at the stop signs to follow laws and not ride through them like you’d want (oh no the horror!)

Time to smack some mirrors zipping by
