Last week, TreeHugger paid some attention to the whole "parking in bike lanes issue" and brought attention to a new site called I Parked In A Bike Lane.org which takes the complaining about motor vehicles in bikelanes to a whole new level:
I like the mybikelane idea of taking photos of bikelane parkers, and the idea of putting a little flier on someone's windshield to educate them on what they are doing wrong, but wonder if actually vandalizing their car is effective at all.
"I Parked In A Bike Lane.org is a humble movement aimed at raising driver awareness towards the problems associated with blocking bike lanes. Cyclists know how unsafe this can be, but something about being hulled up inside two tons of steel seems to lead to an obliviousness (or perhaps indifference) to these issues."
Yes, there will be a lasting reminder of parking in a bikelane, but actions like this will just create animosity towards cyclists and their rights, not support.
