"KUOW listener" — submitted by KUOW

"Bob" — A former coworker (named Bob), and his cat, who he often rode with. Regardless of the rain, Bob rode his bike to and from work everyday. He is special to the submitter because he was the one that made her fall in love with riding bikes for both pleasure and regular transportation needs. "Bob" should be near the Puget Sound Veterans Affairs Medical Center on Beacon Hill.

Mermaid #1

Mermaid #2

"Candy Cane Person"

"Moose"

"AC/DC Grunge Hipster"

"Octopus" — Located in front of the Seattle Aquarium when the new Waterfront Protected Bike Lane is completed.

"Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle" — Silly, but when I hear this expression, I always imagine a fish on bicycle. This bike lane person is an illustration of that vision. Who doesn't need a bicycle? Like the fish ladders that assist our piscine friends to make it upstream, protected bike lanes help this fish navigate uptown.

"Captain Salmon" — They are anadromous! Located on the Burke-Gilman Trail near the Ballard Locks.

"Comic-Con" — Located between Convention Center and Seattle Center.

"Dios de los Muertos"

"Federal Investigator" — Located in downtown protected bike lane between FBI Seattle Division and U.S. Marshals Service.

"Go, dog, go!" — Located on routes to off-leash dog parks.

"Dubs — the UW Husky" — Located on bike lanes and the Burke-Gilman Trail near UW.

"Safe Routes to School"

"Axel" — In honor of Old Ballard – the one that existed before the condos, fancy restaurants and a Patagonia Concept store (RIP Sunset Bowl and Ballard Denny's). The Viking helmet taps into the Scandinavian heritage of the community and the bright "Ballard Red" sweatshirt will delight any Ballard High School grads who'll recognize that color and the big B from their letterman jacket days. "Axel" is a common Swedish name and "Axle" is a common bicycle part. Axel lives on NW 45th street between Fred Meyers and the Ballard Bridge, right in the middle of the "missing link" of the future completed Burke-Gilman Trail.

"Fisherman" — In honor of the Ballard fishing industry, to be located along Shilshole Avenue on the future completed Burke-Gilman Trail.

"Construction Person" — To be located in one of the city's many construction zones.

"Mossback" — Honoring Knute Berger, who has penned a great history of bicycling in Seattle, to be located near his apartment.

"Pirate" — Honoring the Seafair Pirates, to be located on the Seafair Parade route or on the Alki Trail.

"Queen Anne" — For Queen Anne Blvd on Queen Anne Hill.

"Rockin' Croc" — In front of the Crocodile Cafe, in the new extension of the 2nd Ave protected bike lane.

"Sasquatch" — Lives in mystery location somewhere in the deepest woods of Seattle.

"Michael Bennett" — Riding a bike after the 2015 NFC Championship game. Located in a bike lane near CenturyLink Field. Michael Bennett is a strong supporter of cycling, both speaking at the Cascade Breakfast and financially supporting youth cycling.

"The Save" — Honoring Sounders Goalie Stefan Frei for all his amazing saves, especially "The Save" during the 2016 MLS Cup Championship.

"Unicycler" — Unicycling motivates me to explore my neighborhood, stay fit and hopefully bring a smile to others. I took up unicycling over three years ago after seeing Whittier Elementary students preparing to ride in the Syttende Mai Parade. I admired their skills and figured I'd join the fun.

"Russel Willows" — While the Emerald City sleeps, there is an underground Quidditch league that takes place. Ever wondered why there are so many cranes in Seattle? Well, it is because they hold the hoops while great Quidditch players such as Russel Willows and Clint Diggory zoom around the sky as top-tier Quidditch chasers. Open our eyes while biking and see the magic that happens in our city.

"Roland Fish" — He likes tasty sushi from all of Seattle’s good Japanese restaurants. He lives downtown and frequently travels down the 2nd Ave bike lane.

"Normal Person with Dog & Child" — They aren't wearing reflective bike spandex, they are just a normal person using a bike to commute, taking their dog to work and their child to daycare.

"Womxn's March" — Pink hats on all bike lane people on Jackson Street and Fourth Avenue from Judkins Park to the Seattle Center.

"Hi Viz Woman" — She loves sunlight and she celebrates summer solstice the whole year round. Rain? What rain. She would live in Fremont.

"Trump Tweets"

"Mr. Potato Head and Humpty Dumpty" — Located near a 24-hour breakfast diner.

"The Chief" — Manhattan's famed Broadway started as a trail forged by Native Americans. I'd guess that many of our favorite pathways were initially tread by the First Peoples of America. My bike lane person, The Chief, is a reminder of those who traveled this land before it was paved. The Chief's ceremonial headdress flows in the wind and the raven inspired art on the bike jersey reminds us that biking makes us feel as free as a bird.
