Cars blocking contraflow cyclelane.

This had been on the decrease in the past couple of years. But this morning there were two classic examples of just plain lazy behaviour by two professional (well, the do it for a job) drivers.

This is a contraflow cyclelane. It's much more dangerous to stop in them than a normal cyclepane (although that's also illegal).
