Counting and tallying bikes, by day, month, year, etc

Who would have ever thought that a 7 foot structure that did nothing more than count the number of vehicles passing by could create such a buzz?

We know that select cities in Europe have these counting devices. But that is Europe. I have often wondered what US city would be the first to the start line. It looks like Seattle wins the cake.

The counter is is made by Eco Counter, and the model is the Eco Totem. Here is some information from the manufacturer. The good news is that we tested the Eco Counter and it was pretty reliable.
