  The attitude and attention given here to some short length of bike lane being blocked for some reason amounts to acting like the bike lane is some kind of religious shrine.  Indeed, to many cyclists, perhaps unconsciously, a lack of respect for a bike lane seems to be interpreted as a lack of respect for cyclists and cycling in general.  Perhaps that's what this all ultimately about?  I think some of us might identify with bike lanes and the space they demarcate as being "ours", and blocking like this might feel like a personal trespass.

To all:

I have to say I find this thread rather strange.  If I were playing cards, I would think I would have a pat hand.  SDCBC list server, wondering about cones in the bike lane, pointing out cars parked in the bike lane....  should be pretty standard stuff.  

But what I am reading is that because I am interested in keeping pylons and parked cars out of bike lanes, because I report traffic sensors that do not respond to bicycles, because I report sections of the road that are in need of repair, I just may be an incompetent rider who feels some unconscious personal tresspass...

And to think I thought I was merely trying to make a small contribution among many much larger contributions to help make sure that San Diego remained bicycle friendly and did not turn into another Phillidelphia where I hear tell the police double park alongside cars illegally parked in the bike lane so they can get donuts...

I can say I will certainly continue to point out the problems I see, whether they affect me as a cyclist, motorist, birder, star gazer or human being,  and continue to hope this is the right venue for public discussion of bicycle issues.

According to Joel, the city is working on the BIKE LANE/NO PARKING signs for the corner of Genesee and Executive Drive.
