It's 'Mellow Monday' WFH then on our bikes from Tuesday

Kensington High Street, where cycle lanes were axed by the council in December 2020, has seen a reduction in journeys. The number of Strava riders on Kensington High Street fell by seven per cent in 2020-21 and by a further three per cent in 2021-22, he said. Cycle campaigners will have their application for a judicial review of Kensington and Chelsea council's decision to axe the cycle lanes heard by the High Court tomorrow.

POST-pandemic working patterns have seen the rise of “mellow Mondays” as people work from home at the start of the week, cycling data suggests today.

Strava, the walking, cycling and running app, said changes in travel patterns that began during the Covid lockdowns had permanently changed how people moved in and around cities.

Tom Knights, head of Strava Metro in Britain, said a “mellow Monday” drop in travel could be detected by comparing millions of activities logged by users. “Tuesday is essentially the most popular day for cycling commuters, with more working from home on a Monday as part of a new office norm,” he said.
