I saw probably 100 people on bikes this AM, many newcomers. Around 65% of them weren’t wearing helmets.

This is really promising. It shows that cycling felt like a normal thing to do for them, without special equipment. In the current environment, it felt safe enough for them.

Adam Tranter I have however seen a lot of new cyclists, adults, using the sidewalks, which is not only generally dangerous but also bad social distancing for pedestrians. We need a campaign that they should be on streets.
