Day 247: It's all a matter of perspective

I've been wanting to get a picture of these painted cycle route signs for a while. I particularly like the way they light up in the flash of my bike lights, and I wondered about getting a night shot of one. In the end I just used a rainy day to walk a couple of blocks from home and wait for a gap in the (what was exclusively car) traffic to nip out into the road and get a picture. The neat thing about these signs is that they're painted with perspective in mind, so that when seen on a normal approach, it looks like a regular bicycle. When standing over it, as I did for this picture, you see how elongated it is. Cool, huh?
