Small bike counter, Royal College Street, Camden Town, London
The advantage of taking wrong turns is that you get the opportunity to see stuff that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. While walking to Camden High Street from London Euston train station, I took a wrong turn, walking down Royal College Street, which is somewhat parallel to Camden High Street.
It is the location of a main cycletrack and has a pretty simple, but effective, bike counter, displaying daily and year-to-date counts.
It's got to be a lot cheaper than the big, but very prominent bike counters like this one at the new Wharf District. That being said, there's a place for both types.
