I work in an area with a fair amount of bike lanes, and 10 times out of 10 there are cars parked in said bike lanes. The days that I commute involve sticking to the bike lanes, looking over my shoulder, passing a parked car etc etc. My question is, what are the consequences if I were to plow into a car parked in a bike lane? The car shouldn't be there so I can only assume that their insurance wont pay out, but then again I shouldn't be plowing into parked cars. Who is liable for what and should I build a bike with an indestructible front wheel, invest in riot gear and go riding? This could have waited til Friday I know...
