Berlin Bike Boom

In parts of Berlin, temporary 'pop up' cycle lane have reportedly been created to facilitate social distancing by bikers in response to the Covid-19 pandemic (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/13/pop-up-bike-lanes-help-with-coronavirus-social-distancing-in-germany). This is possible, because of the currently greatly reduced flow of car traffic and appears helpful in enabling people to get to work whilst reducing the risk of transmitting the air-bourn infection. It would be nice if some of these improvements for cyclists persisted after the pandemic is brought under control.
