Has anyone else noticed a relatively high ridership of bikes?
Has anyone else noticed a relatively high ridership of bikes?
I live in REDACTED and its a heavy car based location.
Lately though, I noticed more and more bikes in general. Some e-bikes, some just mechanical, but overall a high usage of bikes. I have mine as well I'd use if it was the right type, and if everything wasn't far away from me.
It feels like my area is on the breakthrough of a revolution of bikes due to things like cars being expensive, maybe convenience, or some other factor.
I was curious if it's just me seeing this or it's becoming a more common thing. I just wish that we had more bike lanes/paths available. The current infrastructure can't handle the bikes and normal traffic here.
You're viewing a single thread.
There was a spike where I am during the covid lockdowns. Whilst that has dropped off significantly, I think I good few who either started or got back into cycling then, are still out on the roads now.
@JimmyChanga @Dracocide @fuck_cars That would be me. I hadn't cycled for at least 13 years but started again last year (on the same old bike, that my mom had kept!)
That's great, hope you're enjoying it.
@JimmyChanga It's very useful for the groceries or any stores that are 15-30 minutes walk distance, to turn that into a 5-10 minutes affair!
