Who wants to count bikes next Tuesday? 

Join the world in doing a "Super Tuesday" count Tuesday, September 1st from 7am to 9am. 

To help, the only qualification is owning a smartphone capable of using the free CounterPoint app.
And having a passion for change. 
Is Winnipeg in? 
Are you? 

How it works: 
You will be doing a two hours count of bicycles. 
You can pick or setup any new or existing location you like. 
(It can be Main Street or out your front window, wherever you like.)  
Your location gets to be compared with places around the world...and we'll be spreading the need to count bikes as traffic everywhere. 

Bicycle Network, Australia's national cycling advocacy organization, just commissioned us (Green Action Centre and the made-in-Winnipeg CounterPoint app) to create a special bikes only "gender" count.
The goal is to make it easier to help the 10000s of Australians who already count bikes on this day annually, and to make the idea spread around the world. 

The count screen looks something like this:


On the big day, go to your spot. 
Get comfy. 
Now, imagine that our eyes are gently-powered lazers.
And that your eyes and fingers are the most accurate bicycle detector in the world. 
So accurate that your eyes can detect gender every bike that goes and give a pretty good guess at the person's gender...all whilst your fingers tap away on the right buttons on a screen.
That's how the app works. 
Its better than Candy Crush. 
Try it, you'll love it.
