Lockdown has created a boom in cycling - and the revolution will continue apace next month with the launch of a £2billion government travel scheme that will mean more bike-only lanes in the country's major cities.

In recent weeks, millions of people have dusted down often long-forgotten iron horses covered in cobwebs at the back of garden sheds and garages - and ridden them on quiet roads. Bike shops, allowed to stay open during lockdown, have done a roaring trade - cycle sales have doubled and tour trương gia giới there has been a five-fold increase in the purchase of related accessories such as helmets. 

Sales of electric bikes - known as e-bikes - have also doubled year on year while interest in electric scooters is up 30 per cent compared to pre-pandemic levels.
