This is great. I just wish solving the issues I have to deal with as a cyclist were as ‘easy’ to do. Not a lot I can do when bike lanes just end and the road narrows enough to make it unreasonable to add one beyond pouring more asphalt.
There are plenty of things you can do as a cyclist to force change.
- Ride assertively, taking the lane early and often
- Participate in Critical Mass rides
- Stage a “just a minute” protest when you come across cars parked in the bike lane
- Paint guerilla sharrows, bike lanes, bike boxes, etc.
What is a just a minute protest? asking for a friend

(You can do an impromptu protest by yourself, too: when a car stopped in the bike lane blocks your path, simply pull up next to it and block the general-purpose lane while you wait for the obstruction to clear.)
