Every year on June 3, World Bicycle Day is observed to spread awareness about sustainable transportation that also ensures one’s physical well being.
The world celebrated this affordable, reliable, and sustainable means of transportation for the first time in 2018 when the United Nations General Assembly declared June 3 as International World Bicycle Day. The day is a result of Leszek Sibilski’s campaign and the support of Turkmenistan and 56 other countries to recognise World Bicycle Day. The assembly also took into consideration the versatility and longevity of the bicycle which has served as a sustainable means of transportation for two centuries.
World Bicycle Day talks about the “benefits of using the bicycle — a simple, affordable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transportation.”
Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi also share a picture of Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of world Bicycle Day on his twitter handle.
