Abstract

Cycling is living in a new season. The policies of restriction for public transport during the Coronavirus epidemic, the Anthropocene debate, and the need to rethink the urban and extra-urban mobilities for carrying out a model of sustainable economic and societal development are translating into renewed attention towards cycling. Consequently, it can be registered an increase in the production and selling of bikes and an impulse to the diffusion of the cycling practice in different countries.
