I found out about this wonderful website via the SpacingWire. It allows people to anonymously report and post pictures of vehicles parked in or blocking bike lanes. Toronto is number two after New York and Montreal doesn’t have a single submission in its section. This either means motorists are much nicer to cyclists in Montreal than elsewhere or we have some work to do. Sadly, I’m pretty sure the latter is true. So everybody on bikes or on the sidewalk, keep you camera at hand and if you see a car parked in a bike lane, take a picture and submit it!

I think it’s also worth considering that Montreal doesn’t have that many bike lanes that people can easily block with cars. Some are separated with medians or poles, or are entirely separate from the roadway.
