- Not all bike passing were able to be counted
- This count did not include pedestrian
- This count includes cyclists going both east and west
- This count was conducted just west of the Hale Street Bridge with me sitting in the shade under the Overpass
- Between 30-50% of road cyclists were in groups or seamed to be out riding for exercise and not commuting
I am thinking of doing this tomorrow for the SE Freeway
