When Indians to get this 'passion' like foreigners?
The craze of cycling increased to avoid Coronavirus infection due to public transport in abroad
JUNE 16 (WTN) - When the year 2020 began, hardly anyone would have imagined that the human species would have to face a huge epidemic in the coming months. As you know, Coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19) to have originated and spread from Wuhan city of China has killed more than 4 lakh 39 thousand people so far. At the same time, more than 81 lakh 28 thousand people have been infected.
However, the fear of Coronavirus infection disease has changed the habits of people all over the world. The biggest changes are being seen in people's food habits, daily activities, and social gathering. Actually, now, people prefer to be alone away from the crowd due to the fear of infection.
Now, gyms are closed to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus infection. And in many places, public transport is also closed or limited. So the demand for bicycles has increased significantly across the world. Yes, due to the Corona crisis ,there has been so much demand for bicycle in the whole world that it had not been increased in the last several decades.
So talk about the world's most largest economy, USA, so according to the information, the stock of bicycles in the super markets like Walmart and Target is almost over there. At the same time, the demand for affordable family bikes of the normal selling bicycle shops is gaining momentum.
For your information, let's know that due to the Coronavirus infection epidemic, the sales of bicycles have increased a lot in the US in the last two months. Such a boom in the sale of bicycles in America has been recorded since the oil crisis in 1970. Actually, people are not going to the gym due to the fear of Coronavirus infection in America. And that is why people are exercising through cycles. At the same time, people are ignoring cars and public transport to a great extent to avoid infection.
Talking about other countries, in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, Rome, the capital of Italy, and London, the capital of the UK, people prefer the bicycle over public transport and private car more than before.
Actually, due to the separate lane for cyclists in these countries, people have started using the bicycle here more than before so that they can avoid infection. At the same time, in some European countries like Italy, the demand for bikes and bicycles has increased due to the financial support announced by the governments there to buy bikes and bicycles. Here, the local administration in London plans to ban the car in many areas of the city, reducing the risk of infection.
But as far as India is concerned, even after the increasing cases of Coronavirus infection, people are not getting serious here for their own protection. In such a situation, using a bicycle to avoid infection in public transport is far away.
Actually, bicycles are still seen as futile in India from the point of Indians. At the same time, cycling is not possible for more people in large cities of India due to the long distance between home and office and heavy traffic. In India, now, the cycle is popular among children up to 14 years of age. Otherwise, the craze of the bike is more among children of adolescent age.
