Cycling outbreak in New York City
#1
Just passing by with an article to share: https://www.salon.com/2020/03/14/coronavirus-has-caused-a-bicycling-boom-in-new-york-city_partner/

- If there's a silver lining to the COVID-19 pandemic it's that there's probably never been a better time to ride a bike in the Big Apple.

- The city's Department of Transportation announced on Wednesday that it's seen a 50 percent increase in bike traffic on bridges connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn and Queens compared to last March.

- the coronavirus pandemic has also caused a 15 percent drop in rush-hour traffic this week compared to the same time last year
