Celebrate World Bicycle Day and get on your bike - enjoy the outdoors, burn some calories, and have fun discovering new places!
Get set to celebrate World Bicycle Day on June 3! This day is all about honoring the invention of the bicycle - a historic moment that happened over two centuries ago and revolutionized transportation as we know it. The versatility of this vehicle has also allowed people to explore their surroundings, enjoy nature, break down social barriers and foster communal relationships in numerous ways.
Grab your bike and go explore the world around you. Whether it's a leisurely ride along the river or an intense one up a hill, getting out and riding your bike is always a great way to celebrate World Bicycle Day.
Gather your friends and family to honour World Bicycle Day with a themed ride. Pick a theme like ‘Wear Red’ or ‘Ride for Change’ and ask riders to dress in accordance with the theme or bring donations for charity.
Many cities have bike museums that showcase bicycles from different eras and countries. Visiting them will help you appreciate the history of cycling. If there’s no museum in your city, you can find virtual tours online.
Bicycle rallies are organised across the world on World Bicycle Day as a way of celebrating this day. Look up rallies taking place near you, sign up, and join likeminded people in their efforts to promote cycling.
Local bike shops need volunteers all year round to help keep their workshops running. On World Bicycle Day consider volunteering at one – you could help assemble bikes, clean and repair them, or even teach people how to ride.
By choosing to ride a bicycle, you're reducing your carbon footprint and helping to preserve our planet. Bicycles don't require gasoline or emit pollutants, so they have much less of an impact on the environment than cars and other forms of transportation.
Biking is one of the best ways to get exercise, as it works both your upper and lower body while also improving cardiovascular endurance. It's an easy way to stay physically active and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels!
Riding a bike is a wonderful way to explore new places. Pedaling your way around town or through the countryside makes it easier to spot interesting sights that you might otherwise miss in a car. And since biking is so low cost compared to many other forms of transportation, you can save money while having a great adventure!
