It sounds like a lot but it adds up pretty fast. The picture with the 2029 total on it was taken while I was there. In fact, I think the top of my head might be featured in the lower right portion of it.
There was less than 2000 when I got there when they were warming the projector up. There was over 2040 by the time I left but it didn't seem like many cyclists were going by. Just one or two here and there. This was on a Saturday night in a location chosen more for its visibility rather than the number of bikes utilizing it. It's on my commute actually but I wouldn't say it's a super busy spot as far as commuters go. And again, a lot of cyclists choose the street vs the bike path in that particular spot.
Ironically because the display was off to the side of the path and above their heads, few of the people riding by noticed. Lots of pedestrians saw it though and were intrigued enough to ask questions.
