Has anyone else noticed how cycling has increased in Palmetto Bay? It is worldwide - a reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic

Has anyone else taken notice of the sudden explosion of people cycling in our community? I am not talking about the MAMILs, I am referring to the families, and age groups you don't normally see cycling through our community.

Just this past Tuesday, (4/28/2020) I passed a group of high school age people on bikes - and I wonder if they are riding because you can travel together separately on a bike, all the time maintaining the social distancing that you lose by piling into the same car?

This isn't merely local, it is a worldwide phenomenon - look to this short, internet cycling program report

Of course, let's face it - movements such as we are seeing now all go in cycles.
