This memorial was removed six times. Then it came back on a trailer

I appreciate the memorial, but parking a trailer in a bike lane seems like a good way to put bikes in the path of cars.
I think part of the commentary is that a bike gets removed from the bike lane but a trailer doesn't.
Fair dues, hadn't thought of that.
It's better parked than most cars I've seen along there, with room to get past without any fear of being doored. It's not ideal but I give it a pass.
It's not legally a bike lane either because it isn't marked correctly (a painted white bike symbol isn't enough), but regardless, any bike lane that allows parking is a bike lane in name only.
Fair enough. These are intricacies that I wouldn't pick up on, not living in Brisbane.
People love cars and these memorials are an inconvenient reminder that there are dire consequences of car culture.
