Bicycles rein in the spread of COVID-19 – Enormous increase in sales

According to Reuters, bicycles could play a considerable role in limiting the pandemic in major European cities. Governments are urging citizens to avoid public transport to reduce the spread of the deadly virus. Britain is now encouraging citizens to use their bicycles. The measure is included in the 250-million emergency fund ($ 308m), announced last week. In France, where the world’s most famous bicycle race is hosted, the government plans to invest 20 million euros in developing and subsidizing bicycles. Also, more temporary bicycle lanes will be created in France and Britain.

Citizens are trying to avoid public transport and follow the instructions for social distance.

Sales increase

Bicycle manufacturers around the world are benefiting from the increase of bicycle use. Global sales of well-known electric bicycles increased by 48% from the end of February to mid-March, while in Britain they rose by 184% from the beginning of February to the end of April. The pandemic has also boosted bicycle sales in the United States. Also, car manufacturers estimate that avoiding public transport will help increase car sales.

The cars

The possible increase will mitigate the financial loss that occurred during the quarantine. Volkswagen’s sales in China rose above last year’s level in the last week of April, since new buyers were seeking to avoid public transport, said Juergen Stackmann, head of sales and marketing for VW passenger cars.
