Seems so many here are ignoring that the van was located immediately after a left turn the cyclist made. Hard to judge from the keyboard how difficult that left was in relation to having to transition to a sudden lane change around an illegally parked van. Sounds to me the cyclist did not have a long angled lane shift. From the ladies comments, it sounds like the van owner repeatedly illegally parks there.
Thus I have a hard time why so many other cyclist here have a beef with this cyclist simply reporting an illegally parked vehicle.
