Bikes passed the counter at the Fremont Bridge 926,025 times last year. It’s quite a bit over 2012 and a testament to Seattle and the region’s commitment to infrastructure for bikes on the government level, and to riding on the individual level.
It’s obviously still a small number compared to the number of cars crossing the bridge, but it is a lot of commutes, day trips, and other outings. Still, because we like round numbers — and goals — I think we can hit 1,000,000 next year.
Bikes, the most efficient form of transportation…or not.
How do we know it isn’t the same guy riding the same bike across the bridge 926,025 times?
Well a few are me, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t cross the bridge quite that many times.
Speaking of bridges, New Jersey Gov. Christie may have just met his own “bridge too far.”
