As some may be aware, cyclists on the sidewalk annoy the hell out of me, but I've noticed as bike lanes are put in, that drops to pretty much zero (unless the cyclist in question is some guy on a BMX three sizes too small for him that he pedals at walking speed, for some reason).
Anyway, as people who block bike lanes also inevitably block bus stops and curb cuts, I heartily approve of this site and plan to make use of it if I see a violation.

Most or all of the reports are in front of Maaco on Somerville Ave. eastbound, which I've also noticed to be a trouble spot.
