Thanks Gunnar.
I agree that 45" will be a good cutoff. I don't think i will worry about getting the occasional Honda Trail 70's in the study. I can't remember the last time I've seen one. didn't they stop making them in the late 70's early 80's. I had one as a kid and remember burning my leg on the muffler alot.
I will look at past studies to see if i can get some bike info for you.

Thanks, Gunnar. I think Damien was going to use this to see if the City's counters could differentiate by wheel base to track biking at key intersections and show changes over time. Could we say 45" and under and count scooters the same as bikes?
