I was at the gym the other day and saw that the new spin bikes have this strange character on their wheels.:confused:

It sort of reminds me of a prayer wheel(that’s what makes me so curious)… Anybody with a knowledge of such languages, your help is much appreciated!

I can tell you that it is neither Tibetan script nor Devanagari. To me it looks like a commercial logo of someone cycling, something like this one:

Yeah, it’s not Arabic, either. I see it as a little outline of a person on a bike, too, but I don’t know any Indic script, so I couldn’t say for sure. Maybe there’s some character somewhere that looks like that? Like how Cyrillic has the “little building”: Д (that’s what my old Russian professor used to call it when she was first teaching us the Cyrillic script :))

It’s a logo - you can see the bikers head, body and the top outline of the bike.
 
Haha, I feel dumb now:blush:

Thanks for helping me ‘solve the mystery’ anyway… 😃

No need to feel dumb.

I also just asked some people here at my house what they thought it was and they all concur without a doubt, that it’s a logo type of a silhouette figure on a high speed bike.

😛 Definitely a mystery then!

I even rotated the picture to that position :doh2: What a funny story to tell this Christmastime!

Thanks anyway for investing so much effort into this
 
well i agreed with what the others said above. and its certainly does not resemble any chinese, japanese or korean script as far as i can tell.
 
You are now witness to the evolution of language, don’t feel bad. This is how chinese and Egyptians started… very interesting…:hmmm:
