If you ride a bike in Reno you've probably been on some version of this ride.....
I'm not sure where, but somewhere on this little loop the group that built up the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway has put a traffic counter out (I'm not sure exactly where). What you might like to hear is some of the numbers!!
The counter was put out on May 1st.... and by May 6th it had recorded 1675 trips. When the tally was done for all of May it averaged out at 198 trips/day. By July the monthly tally had swelled to 234 trips/day. To cap it all off, to date (from May 1st) there have been 17,710 trips recorded!!
That, my friends, is a whole lot of bicycling!! So go give it a spin and add to the tally!
Just to reiterate:
198 trips/day in May!
234 trips/day from May to July!
17,710 trips recorded to date!!
p.s. I do know that the sensor is placed in a location where only bike traffic will hit it....so anyone thinking a couple cars got in on the count need not voice their concerns. Overzealous cyclists jumping up and down on the counter are discouraged!
