I suppose I could have pulled over after spotting the count from a distance and carefully timed my pulling away again had I thought about it, but I obviously didn't care enough to realise. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=7#post-278763 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 10:23:09 +0000 unhurt 278763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You could have ridden back and forth over the sensors a number of times? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=7#post-278761 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 10:09:01 +0000 Frenchy 278761@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I would probably rather be 99,999 than 100,000.</em><br /> You could have been both! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=7#post-278760 Tue, 27 Mar 2018 10:05:01 +0000 jdanielp 278760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was just 32 counts early to be the 100,000th cyclist to trigger the MMW counter so far in 2018 a little before 9am this morning.

The count on the counter is indeed correct and the technicians over in Denmark will resolve to rectify those displayed on their website. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=6#post-271845 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 01:10:56 +0000 gkgk 271845@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The online one says 3903.

So I doubt it quite made it to 475k. Would be interesting to see some sort of breakdown of numbers from it (monthly, weekday vs weekend, hour of day etc.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=6#post-176761 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 15:34:17 +0000 jdanielp 176761@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did anyone see the Hogmanay count? By my estimates it would have tallied around 475,000 since late April so 750,000 seems like a reasonable aim for 2015, with a million being an optimistic but achievable prospect! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=6#post-167642 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 12:11:51 +0000 jdanielp 167642@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah well... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=6#post-167636 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 11:31:32 +0000 SRD 167636@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From john Lauder: Hi, yes, power surge wrecked CPU, which was returned to manufacturer.

Pretty useless there.</p> <p>The MMW one also has inflated numbers. I pass by most mornings at the same time. Mostly the count is at a few hundred but sometimes over a thousand. Now I would love to think there was a mass of cyclists on these mornings but I reckon it's more likely people returning home from a night out adding a good number of extra hits for fun. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11524&page=6#post-160376 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 20:49:31 +0000 chdot 160376@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Nóra (@nora_eats)<br /> 25/07/2014 18:12<br /> Interesting bicycle counter by canal #Edinburgh: but counts buggies as bikes!

Has the canal counter ended up where it is perhaps because of some issue with the waterways people not wanting it on the towpath further along?
