Awesome Idea: Copenhagen’s Cyclist Counter (#500,000 Gets a Free Bike) “It Also Doubles as an Air Pump The city of Copenhagen, Denmark, our Best of Green 2009 winner for “Best City To Be a Cyclist In”, has installed what I think is a totally awesome cyclist counter (“cykelbarometer”) in front of city hall (it also has an air pump if you need to inflate your bike’s tires). The two numbers on the counter are “total number today” and “total number this year so far”, according to our friend Mikeal from Copenhagenize. The city will give a Biomega bike to cyclist number 500,000, and since there are about 12,000 cyclists that pass by on a week day (about 25k both ways), it shouldn’t take too long for that number to be reached.
