Alot of people have been buying cheap bikes and also digging old ones out of sheds. Mainly as a way to exercise and get out, whilst gyms are shut and they are stuck at home. Taking advantage of low traffic volume and good weather.
It's been lovely seeing whole families enjoying the Joy's of cycling together.
Whether a significant make the long term shift commuting and general mode of transport is yet to be seen.
I'm of the view only an increase cycling infrastructure will make it feasible for real long term shift.
