Here a cycle counting station in #Bonn on my way to the dance club
6250 today and about 500,000 this year
@vilbi How does does the counting station know how many? Is there a ride-over counter (pneumatic, etc.), or camera?
@Kent it is an inductive slope measuring the direction of each bike passing. In Bonn we have 15 stations online and on of them with display
@vilbi Very cool. Portland, Oregon (where I work) is a very big bicycling town, yet I have never seen anything like this. It looks like you live in a wonderful place.
In Copenhagen it is run over counters as far as I know. You pass some cables.
@Kent @Katharsisdrill same system. Your bike gives an impuls in the cabel slope which is counted
