A black mini passing a cyclist extremely closely
A "Cycle lane closed ahead" sign in a bollarded cycle lane, with a "Cyclists dismount" visible a little further along.
Edinburgh castle, mostly obscured by mist. Photo taken from Princes Street.
A black road bike D-locked to the back of some awful cycle parking thing. The bike rack consists of 25cm deep D shaped hoops and is too close to the wall behind for a bike to be placed over the top. The rack provides no way to secure a bicycle by anything other than one wheel. The bicycle pictured has quick release front and rear wheels. The bicycle is locked at 90 degrees to what is presumably the intended direction.
A white BMW, registration LG71RZK. The BMW is stopped partly on the pavement and entirely blocking the protected cycle lane, on zig-zaags on the approach to a zebra crossing. The driver is a massive cunt.
A video screenshot from lightningmaps.org, showing a bunch of strikes over Edinburgh
A red car heading towards the camera. There are parked cars on both sides of the road, and the driver has driven past an empty space where they could have waited.
A female driver sitting in a car at some traffic lights, fiddling with her phone with a crossword puzzle open on her lap and a pen in her left hand.
A driver sitting in their car in traffic, texting on their phone with both hands

A set of bicycle brake pads. One of the pads has come away from the metal backing plate entirely and is missing. The clip to hold the brake pads in place looks completely mangled on one side.
A screenshot from the road traffic act, saying: Prohibition of parking of HGVs on verges, central reservations and footways (1)Subject to subsection (2) below, a person who parks a heavy commercial vehicle (as defined in section 20 of this Act) wholly or partly— (a)on the verge of a road, or (b)on any land situated between two carriageways and which is not a footway, or (c)on a footway, is guilty of an offence.

A shit car parked on the pavement, on double yellow lines. The registration is OX65 CXM.
A Google Maps view of Bellenden Gardens. The street is shaped like a dick.
The same coach, now a bit further ahead of the cyclist, and indicating left. The coach is clearly angled to be as close to the bollards to the left of the lane as possible, meaning the cyclist will have no choice but to change lanes.
A large white coach overtaking a cyclist with 10-15cm of space. Both the cyclist and coach are in lane 1, with a bollarded cycle lane to the left. There is motion blur visible on the bollards, indicating that the cyclist is travelling at speed. A puddle is obscuring about half of the width of the cycle lane.

A red car driver overtaking a cyclist on a cargo bike, with around 0.5-0.75 metres between them. The road is a 2-lane (in each direction) dual carriageway and there is a slip-road on the left leading away and onto the city bypass. The cyclist is in lane 1 and the red car driver is straddling lane 1 and 2. There is a cycle lane passing over the mouth of the slip road, which the cyclist is not using as this would risk drivers trying to turn left across them.
A silver Hyundai with a private hire sticker on the door, passing the camera (A cycle helmet mounted camera) very closely. The pass happens on yellow zig-zags outside of a school, towards oncoming traffic.
A temporary "roadworks ahead" sign, placed to block half the width of the already narrow pavement, instead of any more of the perfectly wide two lane so l road. In the distance there is a "narrow lanes" temporary sign similarly placed to block half of the pavement.
A caption with a screenshot of a player's name in a game. The game has censored it to "N***er". The caption reads: "My name is 'Nasser'. The game is censoring the word 'ass' and its making it worse.

Bluesky Chats section of my account, showing that I have no way to view the one unread DM, nor see who it's from.
A BMW (Of course) parked half in a parking bag and half overlapping a segregated cycle lane. The cyclist recording this is on a cargo bike which can't fit in the space left in the cycle lane, and there's a parking meter on the pavement, meaning the cyclist would have to stop and push the cargo puke along the pavement to get around the absolute arsehole's shite parking.
The driver of a car, registration YC65 PKK clearly using their phone for over a minute, then being late to notice traffic had moved off because they were too busy texting.
A poorly lit cycle lane, after dark, in the rain.
