Thousands of cyclists take part in the annual bicycle rally on the closed A100 highway, calling for more space for cyclists in Berlin, Germany, Sunday, June 12, 2022. Back in 1998, 10% of trips in Berlin were by bicycle — a share many cities can only dream about even now. By 2018, that had grown to 18%. That's in part because of Berlin’s configuration as a city of many neighborhood centers, with more people living close to where they work and shop. Cycling jumped 22% in 2020, then declined in 2021 but was still 14% higher than in 2019. (AP Photo/Michael Sohn) **FILE**
