First, let's do the numbers. (heh. h/t @Marketplace)
- Every local trip I made for those 8 weeks (except to/from the airport) I went by bike.
- I rode about 300 miles.
- I saw more than 200 different cars parked in bike lanes. (>250 total, incl. those spotted more than once.)

Numbers, cont'd. Over 8 weeks…
- I saw the same car parked in the same bike lane 17 times. It had a ticket 1 time.
- I saw a total of 4 tickets on cars parked in bike lanes. (Doesn't mean only four cars were ticketed—just that 4 had tickets on the windshield when I went by.)
