With face masks mandatory and people keen to avoid packed public transport, the first lockdowns in 2020 turned the humble bike into the ultimate means of claiming back freedom. And bikes clocked up plenty of miles in 2020, whether for work or for leisure, with, as a consequence, a shortage of new bikes on a global scale. Plus, the public health crisis spurred cities around the world to promote cycling. And this heady enthusiasm could well last through the coming year.
