Especially given COVID demonstrating to lots of businesses the waste of needing commuters and expensive office buildings.

How long before well-meaning advocacy falls victim to bureaucratic ineptitude or malfeasance and legislates the fun and practicality out of cycling.
Car sales down? Lobby for draconian cycling statutes under the guise of "safety" and make cycling a less attractive alternative.
Simple. Don't elect people to office who think this is a true-ism. They prove themselves right. Every time.
