ParticipantIs this the obelisk near the lee/Lynn intersection? I’ll be riding by at that time.

So in addition to it counting cyclists, can it also count near misses and crashes at the intersection? That would really be useful!

I was thinking the same thing. Have one on either side of the intersection, to compare pre- and post-doom numbers.
Morbid? Yes!

Bring them along! Call it a community engagement activity.

ParticipantPretty cool! I go to Rosslyn everyday, sometimes twice but I never pass that spot. It’s well placed though to catch much of the bike traffic going between Custis Trail and DC. A block west might have been better. I guess I’ll have to change my route.

Maybe I could call it a coffee excusion and invite our deputy director along which would count for our afternoon meeting as well.

It’s not a sidewalk, it’s a trail that looks suspiciously like a sidewalk, in a place where a sidewalk would be, if it were a sidewalk.

ParticipantUm, so I will ask. How much did the bike meter cost?

’cause I’m sure our friends at Arlnow really want to know so they can trash talk it some more.

Right now they are tossing about “Another million dollar buss stop” so maybe admitting that it cost something like $20K (I hope…) wouldn’t be all bad? Nevermind, don’t feed the trolls…
Does anyone want to admit to being the noble defender of cycling, “Cyclist” on ArlNow? I’m impressed with your fortitude, I gave up long ago (also a tip of the helmet to “Crikey” on WaPo).
