A Biking Boom with many Benefits

Cycling brings plenty of benefits as our lives shrink during the pandemic. It allows us a form of socially distanced travel and exercise, and there’s a clear environmental advantage to swapping out cars and cabs for an emissions-free bicycle journey. There are also other, less obvious advantages, from boosting local businesses to actually making roads safer for everyone ― cyclists, pedestrians and even drivers.

Fascinating that there's a biking boom as a result of COVID- sales of bikes in the U.S. in March were nearly double what they were the previous year and that the New York City mayor has announced 40 miles of streets would be opened for socially distanced recreation, with plans to eventually expand to 100 miles meaning those streets will no longer be through-routes for motor traffic
