Unlike previous national lockdowns, however, this one applied to only a subset of the country: the unvaccinated. While several countries have followed France’s lead by implementing vaccine passports as a way to encourage people to get vaccinated, others are poised to follow the alternative recently set out by Austria, which this week instructed millions to stay home except for essential activities, such as going to work, grocery shopping, and exercise.

In time, bolstered by plentiful vaccines, the continent has seen a resumption of near-normalcy: Public-health restrictions have loosened, and travel has restarted.īut as temperatures drop, and as rising cases place Europe back in the epicenter of the pandemic, the continent is once again being forced to grapple with tougher measures in a desperate bid to alleviate pressure on hospitals that are coming under strain. Barring a few exceptions (such as Sweden), countries in the region locked down their economies, keeping people at home in a bid to slow the pace of infection.

The ECF has also issued a set of recommendations for these authorities to promote cycling beyond the crisis. As a result, European, national, and local authorities have started to put in place several permanent (and temporary) cycling measures in their cities and regions. One of the positive outcomes has been the resurgence of cycling: the lockdown gave the bicycle the opportunity to prove it is the safest, most efficient urban mode of transport.
