This paper addresses the effects of the pandemic and of Covid pop-up cycle lanes on cycling. A questionnaire survey was carried out in Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland. The pandemic has strengthened the attractiveness of cycling both as a mode of transport and as a recreational activity, showing its resilience in a time of crisis. Covid cycle lanes implemented after the first lockdown have improved traffic conditions for cycling in terms of safety, directness and the overall experience. Beyond the recruitment of new cyclists, an effect of consolidating existing practices is observed through, for example, their extension to additional routes and motives. These pop-up cycle lanes have, however, been politically contested, and their reception varies in the population, depending mainly on mobility habits and political position. As both cities aim to increase their modal share of cycling, the challenge is to capitalize on the recent development of cycling, to provide suitable infrastructures, but also to find ways to deal with the controversies and to legitimate cycling as a fully-fledged means of transport.
本文探讨了疫情及新冠临时自行车道对骑行的影响。在瑞士日内瓦和洛桑进行了问卷调查。疫情增强了骑行作为一种交通方式和休闲活动的吸引力，显示出其在危机时期的韧性。首次封锁后实施的新冠自行车道在安全性、直达性和整体体验方面改善了骑行的交通条件。除了吸引新的骑行者，还观察到通过将现有骑行习惯扩展到更多路线和出行目的等方式，巩固了现有骑行行为。然而，这些临时自行车道在政治上存在争议，不同人群对其接受程度各异，这主要取决于出行习惯和政治立场。由于这两个城市都旨在提高骑行的出行方式份额，挑战在于利用骑行的近期发展成果，提供合适的基础设施，同时找到应对争议的方法，并使骑行成为一种成熟的交通方式。
