Pre-Bikon Pavement Sign

Yesterday, I found another pavement sign indicating the bike lane. I suppose it is an historic sign, as it seemed to predate the use of icons, at least for pavement-level signs.

As I was setting up for the shot, a miserable driver honked his horn at me. I bobbled the phone and almost lost it down the Blue Arrow and Sewer grate.
