100% this.
A lot of bike commuters are not coming in to office as much now, so fewer trips. Also more telecommuting has resulted in generally less traffic and easier parking, so for some commuters the convenience advantage of biking has decreased.

I agree that if there is big and successful RTO push, we will see more bike commuters.[/quote]
There is nothing more full of excuses than cycling advocates force to look at data confirming that their hobby is exactly as popular as it appears to be. [/quote]

And the number of bike commuters started falling a couple years *before* the pandemic.

Other transportation surveys show driving is becoming a lot more popular in DC. [/quote]

VMT is still down in DC proper since the pandemic. Traffic just seems worse because drivers have gotten worse. [/quote]
Nothing to do with less road capacity in what is an ongoing failed experiment in online transportation meme turned policy “reduced demand”. [/quote]
