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.
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.
