People took up a lot of hobbies during COVID that they will likely continue, and they pose unique business opportunities.

For example, people who took up biking during COVID now want it as part of their travel and vacation plans. Might be a good opportunity to offer this in your city if no one else is, or at very least, bike rentals.

People who took up baking during COVID means maybe more bakery delivery services or bakery food carts, and/or demand for baking products or houses with kitchens that have baking stations.

The most popular hobbies among those who started one during the pandemic was reading (61%), followed by baking or cooking (36%), gardening (30%), meditation (29%) and writing (26%). See if you can find an opportunity for one of these now that we are almost back in the real world.
