@BostonBikeBlockers I couldn't find anything, so on a whim I made @babikeblockers this morning. I wasn't quite sure how to start it, but then on the way home I ended up running into one -- it's some work truck, but there's pretty much always someone parked blocking the bike lane there when I go by...

@BostonBikeBlockers ya, I do. Pretty sure I'm solely responsible for the hot zone up here ;)

@TheWarOnCars so that seems to be the way to go around here: after calling the police to report the cars for at least the third time last night, the lady on the phone asked if there was anything else. So rather than just saying "no" like the last times, I said "hey, I don't mind just smashing the cars up for you -- no reason to make you guys drive all the way down here, it's pretty easy to just knock some mirrors off". She seemed pretty shocked, but I guess that was enough to get them to come down and ticket these guys!

@TheWarOnCars so I guess we have a partial success: the first guy seems to have had his mirror smashed off, so he (and his neighbor) have stopped parking on the sidewalk. Unfortunately the guy a bit down the street didn't get the message, and one of his neighbors has also started parking on the sidewalk.

@TheWarOnCars and now that whole side of the street has started parking on the sidewalk. I guess the figure if one guy can get away with it, then just go for it?

@TheWarOnCars Sometimes I feel like people are just being assholes because they can, it kind of drives me crazy because I don't really know what to do...

Turns out my shift cable was broken, but it gave me an excuse to get the tanpan setup and it's working way better I'd expected so far...

I never thought I’d pay more than the face value for a coin, but I couldn’t believe this was real without seeing one in person.
