New Bike Lanes in Seattle
Apparently they are putting in some new bikes lanes on 85th street. There are some markings along the edge of the road that indicate where the stripes are to be located, etc. I followed the route for about ten blocks, and found a different symbol painted freehand at every block.
I can just imagine the tortured look on some poor city employee's face as he tried, time and again to recreate the mysterious geometry of the bicycle on pavement, with a spray can in one hand and a smoke in the other. The guy probably hasn't ridden a bicycle in over ten years, and certainly never thought he would be judged on his artistic talents after tenth grade. Sorry buddy. You can see where he gives up and starts thinking about lunch.
These are some of my favorites:
Not bad:
