@BostonPWD @universalhub @CityOfBoston It’s great when they clean off the bike lanes. Makes it way easier to double park. This guy in the white Land Rover agrees.

Whether it’s rain, wind, sleet or #snow, we know our dedicated #bicycle community utilize @CityOfBoston #bikelanes year-round. As such, PWD dedicates equipment each storm to treat, clear, and provide a safe lane of travel for our riders. Video from the #BeaconHill bike lane.

A @BostonBTD tow truck driver rolled up on a car double parked in a bike lane. But don't worry, it was so they could also double park in the bike lane to get their pizza, not to enforce parking rules. @universalhub
