Cycling during COVID19 outbreak.
🚴♀️ ✅ 🇦🇲
——-
It has been well known for many years that cycling is one of the healthiest activities that we can do. During the medical pandemic even more, as bicycles have emerged as one of the safest means of moving around. However, some citizens still hesitate about the real risks of going out for a bike ride.
Cycling and walking are the only two safe options at both the individual level to keep us healthy and protected against COVID19, but also at the public level to improve public health, get people to their destinations and solve many of the problems that we have without access to public transport. A shift to cycling will continue the current levels of cleaner air, improve the general health of the population and therefore improving the resistance to critical reactions to the virus. And of course, increased cycling will also help solve the usual suspects of urban mobility problems like congestion, CO2 emissions, and creating liveable environments for all Armenian citizens.
Finally, do not forget to maintain the distancing rules, clean the bicycle before and after the ride, wear the mask, practice good hand hygiene at all times...
