On June 3, the world celebrates World Bicycle Day, a day dedicated to promoting the benefits of cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation. Bicycles are eco-friendly, great for exercise, and offer an enjoyable means of travel that improves heart health and muscle strength. Cycling also elevates mood and reduces air pollution.
This year’s theme, “Promoting Health, Equity, and Sustainability through Cycling,” highlights the importance of cycling in maintaining health and well-being, as endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO emphasizes that cycling is an effective way to achieve recommended physical activity levels.
World Bicycle Day aims to raise awareness of the bicycle’s role in fostering cleaner air, reducing congestion, and making essential services like education and healthcare more accessible to vulnerable populations. By celebrating this day, the global community encourages the use of bicycles to promote a healthier and more sustainable future.
