Not a great article, which is unfortunate given that pro-cycling articles always get the same tired responses in defense of driving (it doesn't work for my particular situation, it's too cold some of the year in some places, etc...).
Public transport doesn't allow for social distancing and there's no space for additional cars.
For urban society overall, more people cycling results in decreased travel times due to less traffic congestion, a healthier population (both from the exercise and distance) and reduced air pollution. Plus there are great economic benefits. Not everyone needs to cycle for everyone to benefit.
