Similar situation here. I live in NYC and commuted year-round to work via bicycle for 5 years straight ... and then COVID happened, I haven't even been allowed into the office in 9 months, and my bicycling activity has correspondingly plummeted off a cliff. I now do most of my biking on weekends (for errands and such), which was far from true before March.

So, it's amazing how much the cycling numbers here have gone up even with people like me staying home. I'm looking forward to seeing how many people are cycling once it's all over. Will people like me going back to cycling be added on top of all the others who switched from subway to cycling, or will they go back to subway?

I did the exact opposite as you. I was a commuter biker before Covid and then once that stopped, I got Strava and took my bike all over the five boroughs. I was biking 100 miles a week until December when it got a little too cold for me. I added a gravel bike to my collection and took that out of the city on weekends. 2020 was the year of the bike!

I've just been doing lots of running instead as exercise. I don't actually enjoy a lot of the biking in the city that much. It's too often too crowded and/or feels just a little bit unsafe because of driver misbehavior. I've done the whole 100 km ride up to Nyack and back on 9W thing and ... those cars man.

Biking in the city is its own beast - no bones about that.
