If I have to sum up 2020 in one word, it’s unprecedented. It may be clear to most of us that the new normal is a constant state of uncertainty, a period of extraordinary changes. Businesses and schools closed, exams deferred, graduations canceled, WFH and pressure from home schooling the kids, weddings moved and vacations postponed. All of a sudden our life’s routines have dramatically changed. And It’s a massive challenge to get used to all the changes at once.
Domestics challenges aside, our cycling routine is affected too. The sudden surge of cycling enthusiasts has a created public concerns on road sharing and safety. Fines and compounds enforced. No cycling on highways, bells, brakes, helmet etc. All of a sudden cycling becomes a top trending topic with mixed reactions. I’m not going into the debate on who is to be blamed. It's time to adapt, be creative and think positively, which is a better choice than sinking into deep frustration and the “us versus them” mindset.
