    I've started seeing the new signs too. Unfortunately I haven't been on my bike for any of those sightings - so whether the loop exists in the pavement or not is still an unknown.

    Were you able to test the one that you saw?

    No, I was in my car. I'll have to ride over there and test it. It's just about 1.5 miles from my work.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    For all the hundreds of times I've ridden through that intersection, I've NEVER noticed either sign! Funny I don't notice that, but I do remember things like the road named Buttrick Road on the Concord/Carlisle loop.
    It's only worth it if you're having fun

    You made me curious and I found some information about these signs in Massachusetts:

    http://www.bikexprt.com/massfacil/no...rd/ongreen.htm (including some pictures of signs)

    and

    http://www.massbike.org/skills/loop.htm

    Interesting. Hope this becomes more widespread. I have not seen anything like this in Chicago and the north shore.

    Yeah, here we just have lights that can't be triggered by a bicycle at all.
