Yes, not only are cyclists required to use whatever badly designed and bizarre installation supposedly passes for ‘cycling facilities’, we’ve also got to put up with the lane being used as a parking lot.

Slovenian cyclist pirano has had enough and has decided to do something about it:

A few weeks ago while riding my bike on the clearly marked bike paths along Ljubljana’s congested streets, I came up with an idea on how to deal with these self-absorbed bike lane-parking morons, and it finally sprung to life this evening in the form of a flickr group whose sole purpose is to cast more attention on these attention-seeking self-absorbed bike lane-parking morons. I decided to call it Self-Absorbed Bike Lane-Parking Morons.

It’s probably right up there with idiotdriver and other protest actions for effectiveness (i.e. not very), but why not? It might just make a few selfish bastards stop and think.

Well, I can hope, can’t I?
