No one wants to use public transport in Wuhan, but cars are selling like before the pandemic. I wonder what New Yorkers will do with fear of subways. There's no space to park already.
Yes, including winter and across boros. People in Harbin in China and other northern Chinese cities colder than NYC, commute by bike in winter no problem. Here in the US, there is a sizeable portion of people that commute by bike in the winter in Minneapolis.
