Hi Pythonauts, I heard many rumours, that bike sales and usage increased a lot. Then found an article in the economist[1], that among other things says that bicycle manufacturer Giant is having a record year. Now i also found studies, that biking in new york city is up by 35%. [2] and that other cities in the US have similar devolopments[3]. On the other hand, it is sad to see that especially china and india strive to get rid of the bike while "the west" returns to rikscha and other great things of human powered transport....
