    EPISODE 324: Bike lanes are empty? Prove gibe wrong with this €199 window-mounted traffic counting camera

    SPONSOR: Tern Bicycles

    HOST: Carlton Reid

    GUEST: Kris Vanherle

    TOPICS: The Telraam traffic counting system uses a camera and AI to work out exactly what’s going by on the road. And it’s not just for professionals, you can buy one for your window and start measuring traffic 24/7, perhaps to prove that your road suffers from excessive speeding. Telraam’s developer Kris Vanherle of Belgium here describes his neat new system and whether it could be used to counter those tabloid newspaper columnists and others who claim that bike lanes are empty.

The Attorney Ruins the Show

This used to be my favorite cycling podcast. Not anymore. The attorney’s offhand comments ruin the show.
