I have always enjoyed the Kona bike count and was interested in the data of a more "average" ironman. Using Justin Luau's excellent pics from IM California I spent a few hours doing a count. The top 5 wheel, helmet, and kit brands are included but the accuracy of those is suspect because if I couldn't recognize the brand within a couple seconds it was skipped. Total bikes counted is 1120, which is about the top half of the field.

This last one was interesting- was not expecting so many to stuff water bottles down their kit.
41% of the first 100 had their kits stuffed!
