Reporting a Driver in the Bike Lane (for the City to Ignore)

Just another day of a driver blocking the bike lane in North Park. This time, it's a guy in a pickup truck waiting for his buddy. Never mind that that there's a parking lot like 20 feet away.

I used the ‪@TheCityofSanDiego‬'s GetItDone app to do this. It takes a couple of minutes, between taking a photo, uploading it, then entering a license plate number, the type and color of the car, the type of violation, etc. In theory, the city can take this information, and issue the person a ticket. But will they do that?

Thanks for watching.
These videos can be scary, but please know that my goal isn't to deter people from riding bikes in San Diego, but to show the real-world conditions. Sometimes it's pleasant, sometimes it's just fine, and other times there's tension and conflict.

The roads in San Diego should be safe and accessible to everyone without the use of a car. My hope is that these videos help those in power make better decisions for all our safety. I also believe that the more people who decide to ride, the safer the roads will become.
