City Code Sec. 11.52.130(A)(14) makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park a vehicle on any traffic lane posted as a bike lane, alongside a long list of other no-parking zones like fire lanes and crosswalks. The City's bail schedule sets the fine at $50 for a first offense, $20 for a second, and $20 for a third. Separately, Sec. 11.40.120 requires bicyclists to use an adjacent bike path once the City has built one, rather than riding in the roadway, and Sec. 11.40.100 requires cyclists riding in the roadway itself to stay as near the right-hand side as practicable.
