On the drive from Lansing to Indianapolis (yesterday) Friday afternoon, I decided to once again count the number of vehicles I saw along the interstate with bicycles on board and/or in tow. Here’s a weblink to the original survey from July and yesterday’s data is provided below:
- Number of interstate miles driven: approx. 250
- Number of vehicles with bikes: 33
- Average miles between vehicles with bikes: 7.5 miles
- Average bike carrying vehicles per mile: 0.132
- Roof mounted bikes: 6.5 vehicles
- In trailer: 2 vehicles
- Rear hitch/trunk mounted bikes: 24.5 vehicles
- Average bikes per vehicle: approx 2.5-3.0
- Traveling in the opposite direction (northbound): 31
- Traveling in my direction (southbound): just 2
