P.S. One of the cooler things I saw back East was an
eco-totem bike counter,
which tracks and displays the number of bikes passing through an intersection and the total year to date. It is paired with a
website
to show all the data.

Question of the week:
Would you be interested in attending informal coffee meetings every few months?
