Mobility by bike is picking up speed


Getting around by bike is environmentally friendly and healthy. The running costs are kept within limits, as is the search for a parking space, depending on the location. And: on the bike you are not exposed to any risk of getting infected with certain viruses from other passengers. So it's no wonder that more and more people are getting back on their bikes. The rapid development in demand is shown, among other things, by the figures for a well-known online marketplace:

"In 2020 there were a total of around 30 million keyword searches in connection with" bicycle "- a 100% increase compared to 2019", it says in a broadcast. There was also great interest in e-bikes: "Especially around the first" lockdown "there was a strong increase of 300 to 400 percent within a few weeks."

So it seems that the time has come to make more space for bicycles again, as the VCÖ demands, for example.
