  • I’m a cyclist. Delivery drivers and emergency services have to park in no-parking zones to do their job. It doesn’t make sense to park anywhere except on the very right of the road (or left in left driving countries). And that just coincides with the bike lane.

    Also, on the bike lane, they’ll bother fewer people than on the car lane. At least in the street I live on, fifty cars will pass before one bike does - as unfortunate as that fact is.

    Even if they did park on the car lane, a bike would still have to grind to a near halt because now you have a gap where the driver might pop out in front of their truck to walk to the storefront.

    Delivery drivers also frequently block driveways and prevent cars from going in or out. It’s not like they have a vendetta against bikes.

    I’m also glad they do their job because having goods delivered might be the only viable option if you don’t have a car. And finally, delivery drivers are mostly underpaid immigrants, cut them some slack.
