[QUOTE="GillEagan, post: 1878830, member: 56154"] As an urban bicycle rider, I've never had to deal with something like that before. Occasionally I have to leave the bike lane to get around garbage cans sitting in the bike lane. It's no big deal really. I just look behind me to see if a car is coming or not and then enter the car lane temporarily to go around the obstacle. But then again, I'm not in Manhattan either. As I see it, this bicyclist has no leg to stand on really. The law allows for UPS trucks to do this for their deliveries. With nowhere else to park, what can they do? The bicyclist has three options, to either merge in with the traffic temporarily to ride around the truck, to get off of his bicycle and walk the bicycle on the sidewalk for a short distance, or just wait for the truck to leave.
