Is it right time now to start to bicycle on the road?

No. It was time at least three decades ago.

When i lived in Boston, the bicycle was by far the fastest way to get around town. When i lived in Philadelphia, the bicycle was by far the fastest way to get around town. Philadelphia police had several officers patrol by bike. I would say it's quickest in Detroit, but Detroit has nowhere that i want to go.

But if you haven't started biking around town, it's a good time to start. If everyone biked or walked places, there would also be health benefits - reduced diabetes, heart disease, better sex lives, and so on.

I have since ridden my bicycle to downtown Detroit. It's about 14 miles, so 28 miles round trip. It took about an hour. I had excellent weather, with the wind at my back. Parking a bicycle is trivial and costs nothing. When i went home, the massive head wind had died down. Can't beat that with a stick.
