While driving I saw some cyclists I knew.
I hesitated on the green light to let them get the start and this old dude freaking lost it. Tried to pass on the right INTO the cyclists!
Thankfully, he saw them and passed over the double yellow on the left
Of course, I called it in

“Its ok, the owner said I could”
Called it in and the police called back saying it is private property and they have permission to block the bike/fire lane!?!
Top view showing plenty of other options for parking… truck marked in red

If you advertise on your vehicle, don’t drive like an ass hole. Someone might leave a review.

Gave the company dispatch a ring.
“Good morning, this is a courtesy call to let you know I reported that your company is actively obstructing a fire and bike lane to the police. If you move it quick you might avoid a ticket…” click.
Didn’t wait for a response

Dear Grandma with a child too small for the front seat,
Put your seatbelt on before you drive. I saw you cross the white line and approach my bike too close for comfort. When you over corrected over the yellow line I got worried for us all.
You are not in that much of a hurry

Three wrongs don't make a right
Seen from my bike behind the Ford. The Tesla on the right appeared to be turning right. Not sure how they knew the Ford was turning left as they didn't have their blinker on until after the light turned green.

Scott’s Valley bike lane obstruction on dangerous Mt Hermon Road. Cyclists must merge with heavy traffic or ride the sidewalk.
Obstructions like this are why people don’t feel safe biking.

Wonderful tool you all should use. Followed up this with a call to the Local PD who said they were sending a car over.
No confrontation needed. I like this a lot
These two were hanging wasp traps. There’s a parking lot full of spaces but they chose to be dangerous

California Plate 9EUC214
Shared bike bike route not being shared very well...
Is that a bike rack? They should know better. Parking like this is selfish and creates blind spots that endanger others. Do not park in a spot you do not fit in.

California Plate 4YCY808
Silver BMW accelerates into a close pass with no warning. I saw them in my mirror a second before they passed.
Felt like if I hadn’t pulled over it would be about a 1-2 ft pass distance. We (a child was with me) moved our bike over just in time.

CA 1597108
Contra flow bike path obstruction. Officers not present. No flashing lights. Frequent area of homeless persons.
Contra flow cyclists are especially vulnerable to oncoming traffic while passing bike lane obstacles. The high vehicle blocks views of most people.
Ample parking 50 ft away

Stopped and talked to a nice CHP officer on a motorcycle. Reported this and the recent school drop off confrontation to him. Very interested in the video proof, license plate info, and said he will sit at both the school and the scary part of the climb more often to help police the dangerous area
Dangerous drivers suck. Reporting to CHP tomorrow

Knox Roofing, nice advertising!
Just saw them parked on a sidewalk.
Luckily, it’s midday so there aren’t any kids around, but there are plenty of dog walkers and senior citizens on mobility devices coming to and from the senior center nearby

This impatient dad is risking lives by double yellow crossing in front of a school.
I stopped my bike and would not move. He eventually got out and yelled “I’m not the guy you wanna step up on!”
Dude I’m asking you not to break the law and endanger my life.
“I’ll remover your face!”
