Bike lane is irrelevant.
Just another illegally parked car.
Usually, towing isn't worth the effort as in most countries on the continent, the license plate is connected to a bank account and just automatically deduct the money.
One example ... for the final version, they got rid of the transponder and it's plates only

Which country routinely ignores illegally parked cars that are blocking traffic?

This is the prototypical street level situation where the whole country has been converted to a single lane ...

No, it won't be necessary for me to read any more of your posts. You have demonstrated over and over again that your modus operandi is to insult others.

I did spot the /sarcasm note in PatrickGSR94's post. I interpret this as an invitation to continue the thread with lame attempts an humour (or even humor, which is a lesser word - though only by one letter)

BTW, several of the pictures show the same type of towing truck in operation in Merrie England as is used in Paris.

That is why bicycles are equipped with mechanisms for steering and slowing down, and bicyclists are equipped with vision to detect objects that need to be avoided through the steering and stopping mechanisms.
What would you suggest as an alternative method for these cities to quickly remove illegally parked cars?

Although, with the truck blocking traffic, cyclists can probably just go around while the cars are stuck behind it, and then the truck can be blamed for blocking traffic instead of cyclists.

Ticketing along doesn't always solve the problem. There are people who simply don't pay them. One of my wife's students graduated owing the university over $10,000 in parking tickets and just left the area without paying.
