A new counter was brought online last week at the base of the 10th St. bike lane: http://www.eco-public.com/public2/?id=100020661
Additionally on Wednesday the counter along the S Bow River Pathway: http://www.eco-public.com/public2/?id=100030402
For those curious, the yycbike_count Twitter account and the site I use to amalgamate all the counts (https://calgary.bike) have been updated. (And documentation on counter information pushed to GitHub for some delicious open source goodness)

Excellent post first post Chealion. Welcome!
I've been keeping an eye on these counters on twitter, and I find them fascinating. By the way I was on the 5th street and 12th ave Cycle tracks Thursday and Friday and they were busy, especially Friday.
A few pics of people using using the tracks this past weekend.

I said more or less the same thing when I saw @Surrealplaces' photos. Except I was talking about the weather more than the cycle tracks this time.
Yup, Spring is always like a box of chocolates lol.
More Cycle talk from the city, this time for the eastern part of the city.

Me too! All this nice weather and I haven't been able to get out and bike much. I managed a quick loop around the core using the cycle tracks last week and the tracks were busy. Awesome to see at 11:00am on a Saturday.

Chealion, that bike counter on 10th is both peds and cyclists? or just cyclists?

10th Street is Cyclists only. The only ones counting pedestrians are pathway counters and Stephen Ave.
Those are good numbers for cyclists only. I know the weather has been great, but I also feel like the cycling culture is really taking off in Calgary.
