Biking is a transportation method that has been repopularized by local residents amid COVID-19. This includes motorized scooters and e-bikes, which have increased in use.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a slew of life adjustments for everyone during the global shutdown. Among these changes is a repopularized hobby taken up by many Berkeley residents: biking.

Based in San Francisco, Uber and Lyft are two ride-share companies that share in the creation of cutting-edge public transportation methods. Dave Campbell, advocacy director at Bike East Bay, was quick to notice this trend and its impact on locals.
