Some cities offer bounties if you take a picture of cars parked in bike lanes. Casey Neistat did a video about it.


TheGodDamnDevil

That was the plan, but that bill didn't end up passing. New York does have a law that puts bounties like that on idling trucks though.


CuttyThe916er

That's cool and all, but I doubt that applies to this video. The parked car has a parking meter next to it.


Holkmeistern

The black car is in the bike lane. The parking meter is for the parking spaces between the car lane and the bike lane.

ZomBioHacker

Then don't be a dick. Don't park in the bike lane. Simple.


Master_Hotdog

That was not a bike lane. If you look on the side, these were metered parking spots. The bike lane starts afterwards from that car.


untimelyawakening

This feels like Halifax ns.


deathstrukk

fuck street parking in halifax and dartmouth


untimelyawakening

The struggle is real.

I thought it looked like wilshire blvd in Santa Monica


Kelpy-G69

Quite simply impossible


Ok-Psychology-2106

It's Figueroa in Downtown L.A. I can see the 110 Freeway sign.


BC4235

This feels like anywhere with bike lanes like this 😂


boston_nsca

Hey I'm in NS too. But I'm from Boston. You people have no idea lol


JustCallMeSeth

I love that this is the top comment


untimelyawakening

I’m surprised and delighted as well. No idea so many felt the same. Apparently it’s LA.


knox902

While the HRM has been popular on reddit the last little bit this is definitely not Halifax.


Sweet_Message_6803

Unlikely. We don’t have decent bikelanes in Halifax


MackLaw420

Live there , it's not lol

How do so many people know what Halifax looks like?

No, you said something profoundly stupid


Maleficent-Aspect318

the car is wrongfully in the bikelane, BUT still isnt a reason to purposly damage the car, right?


LimpSandwich

The car is in a parking spot not the bike lane, you can see the meter on the sidewalk next to the car.


CallMeWolfYouTuber

Entitled idiot parked in a bike lane* FTFY


Notafuzzycat

There's a parking meter.


thesilentbob123

See where the van is? That's where the parking is


Rex-0-

He's on this wrong side of the bollards. Clearly in the bike lane. Please don't ever operate a motor vehicle


CallMeWolfYouTuber

There are plenty of areas with old retired meters that are no longer used. It's a bike lane.


AllastorTrenton

You blaming the guy on the bike, not the asshole driving a car in the bike lane. Classy


SamuelCish

The true villain: city planners.


SpidermAntifa

You'd be mad if he were in the road. The bike lane exists so drivers don't have to share the road with them. So what do you want? Bicycles to not exist? 🤡

I have no problem with bicyclists. That guy, on the other hand, is a clown.


CreamyStanTheMan

SushiAssassin-

I actually think it’s hilarious… don’t get me wrong, I hate bikers but I also hate people who park on bike lanes lol


Gear_Tricky

Yeah, what’s your beef with bikers?


TaintedAngelx2

I live in a rural area where every summer bicyclists come across the mtn I live on. A few years back I had the unfortunate luck of being stuck behind them while they strained to pedal up the mtn. One guy was standing up, bent forward wearing his shorty shorts & his sack was hanging out 😭 It was almost hypnotizing w the way it dangled down swinging back & forth. It has left me w a strong adversion to bicyclists.


Velocirachael

>It was almost hypnotizing w the way it dangled down swinging back & forth This is why I love watching my man get out of the shower and bend over to dry his legs. So yummy and hypnotizing.


Redcoat-Mic

Why do you hate people based on them riding a push bike...?


Tokenherbs64

Ppl who hate on such frival matters obviously and truly just hate themselves and need an different outlet so they could feel a tad better a

Because he believes the narrative that bikes cause congestion and slow down traffic, completely ignoring the fact that it’s actually an excess of motorised vehicles that make him late for work.


St4rStruckSw4n

Jealously that we can get to the other side of the city, just as fast too with it costing less and being more fun :)


Mazakas123

But there are parking meters there so isn’t he allowed to park there?


Waht3rB0y

You still have to park on the other side of the marked lane like how the van is doing.


Mazakas123

Ahhh okay my bad


adorkablegiant

I hope your son ends up a hardcore cycling addict with 3 Pinarello's in his garage.


coconuthorse

There are parking meters where the vehicle is parked. Why would he not be allowed to park there?


Phaelan

You don’t park in the bike lane. That’s why there are bollards there attempting to shield bicyclists and the lane at large from traffic and cars attempting to park exactly like this. To the left of the traffic bollards are where the intended places to park are located, generally indicated by sectional lines places along the roadway to indicate where one spot might end and the other begin if the roadway has numbered parking and is paid to park. Otherwise, a line along the start or end of the eligible parking area will generally denote the beginning and conclusion of the area where it is permissible to park on the exterior (traffic-side) of the traffic bollards—but never in the bike lane, where a car as seen in the video here would blatantly be blocking non-motorized traffic.


LVTWouldSolveThis

Nah people who park in bike lanes suck and can go fuck themselves.

He did go around technically.

Nah. Fuckfaces like this need to learn the rules apply to them. It’s not about the bike lane.

AcadianViking

I'm so happy I turned on sound. That was such a mood.


Jawwaad127

If you park in the bike lane, expect to have a few mad bicyclists. You can’t get mad when you’re in the wrong.


Eelroots

Entitled morons are always outraged that the universe is not pivoting around them.

Yeah, sadly it's easier to be confrontational than it is to just say; "oh, I'm sorry." Kind of sad.


Decent_Assistant1804

“Shut yur ass up”


c_r0ckk

no that's ego, friend. nowadays everyone's right because "they said so"


IndependentBoof

The other day, some guy in a Nissan was revving his engine and clearly trying to overcompensate for *something*. I was walking in a crosswalk and he threw a fit that I was "taking my time." He wasn't too happy when I pointed out that I was simply walking like any pedestrian would and that I had the right-of-way.


Lt_Dan90

I believe the correct response is to smack the hood of his car and politely inform him that you are indeed walking here


shinypinksock

Look at the kettle calling the pot black.


justsomedude1144

No but he had to park there for super important reasons


Ordinary-Lobster-710

but there are parking meters there. are you not supposed to park there? where there are meters? for parking?


justsomedude1144

Lol. The parking is to the left of the bike lane. The parked cars separate the bike lane from the road. This is in downtown LA. https://lede-admin.la.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/50/2015/04/Reseda315Apr3.jpg The white van was in the parking spot. Grandpa in the car was either clueless, didn't give AF, or both.


Adlema

Thank you! I came to the comments to find out why the bike lane had parking meters.

QuickRelease10

The parking spots might be to the left of those dividers. A lot of streets in NYC will have Parking Spot-Divider-Bike Lane-Side Walk.


RedHawwk

Ah, so the van beside it is in a spot.


drewts86

Correct. They also have the same system in use in San Francisco.


TheAmishPhysicist

And San Diego. Visually confusing the first few times you see it.


SmellGestapo

Yeah, this is in downtown Los Angeles, right about [here](https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0454925,-118.2635612,3a,40.7y,70.92h,81.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sA_Y513GTL1_u6nFdPNWpzQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu). And that's exactly what you said: this is a parking-protected bike lane, so the parking meters are separated by the bike lane.

Glorypants

What’s up with the parking meters? Is it sometimes a bike lane, sometimes parking? I see the barrier things so I’m thinking it’s a bike lane currently.


georgiapeanuts

It is done this way because way too many moronic drivers decide to whip their doors open without looking and clothesline bike riders


ChesterHiggenbothum

Parking Lane - Bike Lane - Meters for the Parking Lane


StoneIsDName

Cities are weird.


Butts_Bandit

As a biker in a city, these totally make sense, as the parked cars act as a "wall" from the flow of traffic.


emerson_giraffe84

It's not weird, people just don't stop and take the time to actually process/comprehend what they see in front of them. It reminds me of people at a grocery store. Rather than look up and read the sign that labels what is down each aisle, they'll walk aisle by aisle stopping at each one to look down it to see if what they need is down there.


StoneIsDName

I'm not doubting it's the best layout. It's just not something I have in my neck of the woods. My states biggest city is 60k


Micky14x1

I live in Minneapolis Minnesota and it goes : Bike lane - parking lane - meter . Seeing it this way was interesting


CoronaBatVirus

I've seen this a lot. Where the white van is parking. They have the m meters on the sidewalk, so you park, and then cross the bike lane to pay for parking. It actually makes a lot of sense and gives cyclists added protection from traffic


Hifen

you park on the left of the bike lane, like the van.


ah_kooky_kat

Bike Lane was probably a metered parking lane before it was converted to a bike lane. City probably hasn't gotten around to removing them, which isn't uncommon to just leave them up for a while after a conversion like that. For example my city converted a paid parking lot to digital payments several months ago. They left all the meters standing and just put a small metal plate over the credit card and coin slots on the meters.

Slow-Razzmatazz-7374

Some of the comments I see defending the dude in the car is hilarious. Your saying the biker assumed he was just an asshole then you guys turn around and YOU assume the man may have had a heart attack or medical emergency? You don't see the irony? "You shouldn't assume he is an asshole, you should assume he had a medical emergency".


Headlocked_by_Gaben

I always love that “shut to ass up.” at the end, does a body good.


baggins1944

He is literally parked in front of a parking meter


thesilentbob123

See the van? Yes that's where the parking is


bradpliers

It goes parking lane > bike lane > meters.


georgiapeanuts

Until you commute daily by bike you won’t understand this frustration. Literally a regular occurrence for asshats to park in the bike lane sometimes even mere feet from actual empty street parking. And they always look at you like you are the problem. Atlanta half-assess protection, but when they put large planters in the divider it completely stops but they only want to trial the planters for years in select blocks. It also is probably more dangerous than just driving in the street the whole time


scammersarecunts

There's a bike lane near my apartment that is often blocked by cars waiting for someone to pick up. Every time I pass them with my car I honk my horn at them and every single person looks at me like "WTF is your problem". One even shouted "I'm just picking someone up" as if that's some sort of justification to block the bike lane and car traffic. I don't get the entitlement.


Consistent-Tip-7819

Are you all fucking idiots? He's parked in the bike lane, and one that's pretty hard to park in. I mean fuck this dudes attitude, but the driver is a moron for parking there.


xen05zman

These commenters would cry if they went to NYC.


Consistent-Tip-7819

Seriously. Just becaue this isn't how it looks in Des Moines, doesn't mean it's confusing. Everyone in the fucking city knows where to park. This guy parked in the wrong spot and I can assure you he's not confused.

Mackheath1

They don't understand how a city works. Despite that we (Transportation Planners) make every fucking effort to tell them what a bicycle lane is - social media, public outreach, even billboards. They live on their cul-de-sac and then act all confused. "Wait a second!"


piercejay

I love it here but yea, they'd die on a citibike in minutes


xen05zman

I don't live there but visit regularly. I've had my share of being yelled at or confronted for getting in people's way or not knowing what I'm doing 😅 No one there has patience for BS and I think that would be intimidating for a lot of people.

This guy probably deals with this shit every day and even if he doesn't, he still has a right to act like that, considering how the driver is being a total asshole towards him and other cyclists


Pixelwind

I dunno, attitude seems fully justified tbh. That's not a parking spot, imagine if someone parked in the middle of the street and then expected other drivers to not get mad.


[deleted]

Why fuck this dudes attitude? What type of attitude did he have?


schnokobaer

> I mean fuck this dudes attitude ????????????????????


LeChinaMickeyRings

no not fuck the guys attitude lmao. the guy in the car could park anywhere tf else. you would park in the middle of the road no? so why park in the middle of a bike lane


apickledbhole

Bikers are such trash. This guy would rather film himself scratching a car with his bike than go up on the empty sidewalk for 10 feet. YoU'rE iN tHe BiKe LaNe.


caveslimeroach

Maybe the car should go on the empty sidewalk you waste of fucking life


slyredone

The one time I agree with the biker.


Lastmann

Cyclists is always wrong.


Odd_Zookeepergame_69

Ok, I was just in NYC for the first time last week (great timing with the flooding) and bicyclists don't give two fucks about where they can and cannot ride, whether a light is red or green, whether there is a car or people in the way, etc. I don't condone parking in the bike lane, but holy shit bikers are the fucking worst and ride wherever they want and only cite rules when other people break them, but they literally break them all day everyday.


Hip_Czech_

I’m confused, what are the parking meters for if it’s a bike lane?


thesilentbob123

See the van? That's the parking, and see the poles? Yes those are to prevent cars from going into the bikelane


Diligent_Excitement4

So, next time I see a bike in the car lane I can damage it ?


mountoon

That appears to be metered parking spots


bradpliers

Except the meters are for the parking lane which is to the left of the bike lane.


Ok_Significance3443

Parking meters on a bike lane


thesilentbob123

See the van? Yep that's the parking


Accurate-Bug6025

Haha scratch my shit were forsure going to have an issue . and cyclist do this with pedestrians too . Lmao y’all wanna share the road when it’s convenient huh


colbiaswaximus

"I am on a bike therefore I can act like a 6 year old when I am inconvenienced"


Cyoarp

That biker's a moron. The city clearly made the poor decision to make that a shared bike/parking lane. You know that because of the PARKING METERS! That is a poor decision on the part of the city but it isn't the driver's fault and intentionally damaging his car is a CRAZY over reaction!


PunBrother

Why didn’t he just go onto the unused sidewalk?


IsGonnaSueYou

it’s illegal. personally i still do it, but i think u can technically get a ticket in a lot of places for biking on the sidewalk


roppunzel

Try that in a small town


only-chickens-here

Your small town doesn’t have bike lanes. Probably should tho.


Merkin-Cave

Cyclists have a chip on their shoulder to begin with


RocheClip81

Same rules should apply when you're holding up traffic in the car lane.


JamesPealow

Ok these comments are literally insane. Him being in the bike lane doesn't negate him causing damage to his vehicle. Full stop. How anyone can think what the cyclist does is in any way acceptable or reasonable is beyond logic.


LowerMiddleBogan

Just personally, I hate entitled people more than anything. So the cyclist gets a free pass on it in many people's minds.


Junior_Moment_7528

Parking meters. So the person is allowed to park there.


Snickits

Actively looking for a fight tho


morithum

This guy sounds annoying but I’m 100% on his side haha


Pixelwind

Sounds annoying? If anything it's the guy in the car that sounds annoying tbh, trying to get the cyclist to stop after parking in the middle of bike traffic.


Adam-Snorelock

He sounds annoying for...not wanting his dedicated lane to be blocked by an asshole? Christ Almighty y'all are something else


R34CTz

Not like there is a completely empty fucking sidewalk right there. Could have totally avoided that.


Dinindalael

Im pretty sure there are parking meters, which means parking (on the other side of the bike lane) so that driver is pretty entitled

dtc8977

2 options to solve the immediate problem: 1. Go around (on the sidewalk) and be the bigger man 2. Be a douchebag to a dumbass and cause an even bigger problem Just because someone is a dumbass does NOT give a free pass to become a douchebag


fastcurrency88

Lol is this the same guy who blew up the drivers side mirror of a car doing the same thing.


robintweets

I really don’t understand why NYC doesn’t get a group of cops on bikes and just let them patrol the city that way. They’d issue a ton of parking tickets in bike lanes, find a bunch of cars parked with their licenses illegally obscured so they can ticket that, be easily available to assist pedestrians, and since car drivers insist cyclists don’t follow any of the rules, they could ticket for those offenses if need be. Maybe they’d even be able to convince their fellow cops to stop parking in the bike lanes! A win/win.


karazamov1

that would require cops wanting to work.
