Ride and be counted

[creadinger]

Today and Saturday, Alexandria is conducting bike/ped counts at several key intersections in the city.

If you ride down Commonwealth near the intersection with Mt. Vernon in Del Ray between 5-7pm, stop and say hi if you want.

Will anyone else be out counting this evening?

I am counting just south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge on the MVT.

Not today, but I’ll be counting on the MVT just south of Daingerfield Island on Saturday.

I was counted twice by creadinger. Could have made it 3 times, but I thought that would be pushing it.

Thanks for stopping by! All in all, not a bad 2 hours.
My final tally was:
Male Cyclists 91
Female Cyclists 24
Male Peds 34
Female Peds 49
Other Peds (babies) 8

Unless those babies have boots on the ground, it’s a stretch to classify them as “pedestrians”.

Sounds like someone needs to tell their baby to man up and walk

The directions to counters are to call them pedestrians. I guess because without a pedestrian pushing them, they do not go anywhere. There is a category for others – to include I guess skateboarders, inline skaters, and scooters. Which unlike stroller riders, go on their own.

female cyclists 10
male cyclists 34
other cyclists 3
female pedestrians 51
male pedestrians 88
other pedestrians 9

An interesting and fun time, with insights into the sociology of walking and biking in Chirilagua

“Other cyclists”?

Cyclists of an indeterminate gender. This is why parents of baby girls put bows on their heads.

That’s the category they put the Phoenix crew in.
