Friends -
I am forwarding on the message below from Bike Fed.
I hope lots of people can help, because doing bicycle counts is very
important to make sure that the city (and everyone else) knows how
important bicycling is to out transportation system. Manual counts are the
absolute gold standard with regard to non-motorized transportation, and
they take a lot of people.
(Trust me that automatic counts are just OK, and still require manual
validation. We also do not have enough automatic counters in the city. They
are almost exclusively on paths, not on all path segments, and we have
virtually no data for roads!)
