After politely explaining that they are parking in a bike lane and we are trying to free up our bike lanes in town so people can ride their bicycles in a safe manner we were told to "f... off".
Thank you SHAWN MANN CONSTRUCTION.  Florence is a friendly and charming community and I hope our citizen consider to choose somebody else for their future construction needs.

Mayor clears Bike Lane with a Tank

Ever wished that actions had consequences or dreamed of a world where cars couldn’t park in the bike lane without being crushed by a tank, Truckosaurus-style?

If so, Arturas Zuokas, the mayor of Vilnius, Lithuania, might just be your new hero. Zuokas, an avid cyclist, decided to make an example of one such lane-clogging Mercedes Benz by crushing it with an army troop carrier. What followed should be deeply fulfilling to any cyclist who’s fantasized about exacting sweet demolition-derby revenge on a high-end parked obstacle.
