"A proud feeling? That's a bike ride away!"

The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure launched a new TV ad to encourage people to take their bike instead of the car for short journeys. Whatever the occasion or weather conditions!

Pedal poll count this morning on Isleville St at Espresso 46. There were so many pedestrians and dogs (I didn't count the dogs)
There were about 60 cyclists including some folks I know.
@danp.net showed up for a coffee and stayed to have a chat while I counted which was nice.

Pedal poll for Isleville Tuesday June 4th 2024
14% cyclists
54% pedestrians
31% personal vehicle
1% large vehicles

What an excellent use of our app.

What gets measured, gets managed.

Organize, deploy a count to 1000s across #Canada and share the results quickly.

We’ve got a toolset for that. 👇

A mum and her two young children, casually cycling along a safe, protected cycle track in the Dutch countryside next to a main road, but a world away from danger. This is what freedom looks like when you design for people, not just cars

I am dropping this on Bluesky first since I think this is the place to be.

This is my 1,111th Streetfilm so it's a cool numerical milestone! But even better this is a great 15 minute film and definitely consider one of my Top Ten.

For my birthday give it a play! #Urbanism

If you recently created a Counterpoint, and there is no photo loading, send us an email with the photo and we'll manually add it into the app.

If you can't remember all the CP names you created, still send an email and we can refresh your memory with your list of CPs.

CounterPoint App - Where Everyone Counts @counterpointapp.org · Mar 27

Fortunately, your CP was actually created but no photo was attached. B/c of this, almost everyone hammered the Save button & multiple CPs were created with duplicate names.

Np, our team is working on merging these duplicate CPs over the next day & no counting data will be lost.

We have confirmed reports of an issue with startup crashes on phones running iOS 15.5, specifically. If part of @Canada_Bikes upcoming #PedalPoll, avoid iOS updates and stay tuned for a fix if running that version. Meanwhile, use the trusty paper form. Have fun!
