Someone in Seattle took it upon themselves to add a little personal flair to a bike lane marking recently. I saw this stencil modification while riding up the south-bound side of Dexter Ave N near Fremont. Clearly they’re trying to even out bicycling’s gender gap. Male bicycle road markings DO outnumber female bicycle road markings by thousands, perhaps even millions worldwide.

I’ve had plenty of conversations with bicyclists and nonbicyclists about whether the standard human figure can be viewed as not-gender-specific. I always see a male when I look at it and this modification above makes me smile every time I see it.
Action requires knwolgdee, and now I can act!
What’s next, transgender? Btw, they’re not male bicycle road markings, they’re short-haired, taped-boobs, butch women.
