    Ask them to move, they seem to be blocking the sensor….

    Pretty 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. :)

    I had the same thought although I am two years slower. Why is it not one block west? I’m either taking the north span of Key or I’m taking Lynn over. Am I the only one? I guess a decision was made to value over placement over maximizing cyclists counted.

    Because where it is now is where there was space for it where there are cars stopped at stop lights that can easily see it. Also, it’s where Yay For Bike Riders Day is held.

    It will be shifted during the Custis redesign there, but likely not beyond that block.

    You aren’t the only one. I actually changed my afternoon route to go by the bikeometer. At first to see the afternon count, and then b/c I found that I liked it better. In the early part of the afternoon, there isn’t too much traffic on the TR Bridge, so I don’t mind the narrow lane as much as I thought I would, and it gets me off of M Street in the afternoon.

    Arlington does have other counters though, so even if you are missed by the visible one, you’re likely still counted.

    Including two on either side of Key Bridge….don’t worry. Top Men are on it.

    Still funny two years later.
