Have you seen these little white cyclists popping up at major Louisville intersections? They are designed to show cyclists where to position their bikes to trigger a traffic light change. When I first saw the stencils, I thought this was some sort of DIY fix since the stencils were slightly jagged, but it turns out the city has been painting them along bike routes. Good to know if you ever find yourself at an intersection governed by those induction loops.
