Blocking bike trail
Boundry Street and Juno Street, Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh doesn't have much in the way of bike lanes, though that is beginning to change. I didn't want to have this site be completely empty so I'm posting a photo of this Mazda 3 blocking the end of the Panther Hollow Trail in Oakland.
First off, there was the sign a few hundred feet back that said that this was a private driveway and there was no parking. Next, it was a closed gate, which should give someone a clue that maybe they shouldn't park there. Third, it's a bike trail so there are going to be plenty of bicycles going by. Why park almost directly in the way of where the traffic is going to be moving when, if you still want to be a moron, you can park a yard or two to the left and at least keep your pretty car away from the potential for dings and scratches?
All that being said, some offended cyclist had left a huge spitwad on the passenger window to show his displeasure. This sort of behavior only compounds the situation. The parking pinhead will feel justified in causing trouble for "those damn cyclists."
