To answer your question, a "bike activated signal" is a signalized crossing for bikes. i.e. the button you press to make the light change colour. My route from home to work gives me these stats: Route length: 3.996 km. Estimated time: 0 hr 15 min. GHG prevented: 1 kg. Calories burned: 86.9 kCal. Mean NO2 level: 22 ppb. Elevation gain: 35 m. Mean veg cover: 4 %. which is pretty much true. Thanks for sharing! Flora, that’s amazing!
