Which days did you look at?I just looked at the photos taken on the hour from the 20th, counting just what can be seen back to Netheravon from 7 am to 6 pm, the DfT count period. Not particularly accurate, but provides a rough estimate.I get 10 bikes, 4 buses and 35 other vehicles, giving 20% bikes, 8% buses and 71% other vehicles, assuming equal speeds for all vehicles.However, in two of the shots the vehicles are nose-to-tail, at 10 am and 1 pm. Assuming, generously, those vehicles are going at half the speed of the bikes gives:24% bikes, 10% buses and 66% other vehicles.If I repeat for yesterday, I get in total 20% bikes, 11% buses, 68% other vehicles.The last DfT manual count in 2017 at this point had 8% bikes, 8% buses, and 84% other vehicles, so consistent with a steady proportion of buses given sampling error.So I don't see any evidence from the last couple of days for a proportion of bikes below 10%, but rather in agreement with the TfL figure of 20%, and an increase of 150% from the previous DfT counts. Coincidently there was an unofficial bike count from 8:20 am to 9:20 am today of 281 bikes on C9 at the Goldhawk Road. This compares to 89 bikes at this time for last DfT manual count, an increase of just over 200%. All the other evidence suggests that C9 has increased cycling by a substantial proportion, so it would be good to see how you got your figure of less than 10% bikes from your analysis.
