Biking provides a critical lifeline during the COVID-19 crisis
-
The world is still struggling with COVID-19, and public bicycles have become the safest way to travel. More and more people choose to use bicycles to buy daily necessities. Although it is said that there are not as many items as cars, it is one of the best choices for transportation during the epidemic.
Cities have curtailed many public transit operations because of declining ridership and health concerns. While these measures are essential for preventing the spread of the disease, they present challenges for the many people who still need to get around cities for essential tasks like buying food or caring for a loved one. And mobility for essential workers like health care providers is more important than ever.
Some evidence suggests that many people are turning to cycling as a resilient and reliable option to fill the gap. Many urban cycling networks have seen a surge in traffic.
Cycling is providing a critical lifeline to many cities during a critical time. But it’s also a resilient mode of transport that can continue to provide valuable benefits to cities in the future, too — benefits that go beyond mobility.
