My GF bikes to work every day (except if it snowed the night before = slippery). She says the mornings are pretty crowded.

I went for lunch yesterday with a few friends and walked the 5 ave underpass. They have a new machine up that counts bikes going underneath. It was 11:45 and there were 199 counted.

This was a Thursday, weather was warmer but it was snowing and certainly wasnt sunny.

I walked by again at 12:45 and the counter was up to 240.

That's pretty decent for January.
