World Bicycle Day is observed on June 3 every year to highlight the importance of cycling tradition and its significant role in keeping our health and planet fit. Cycling is a multidimensional exercise done by all age groups, has numerous health benefits, prevents diseases and fosters sustainable development.
The United Nations (UN) declared June 3 as World Bicycle Day, citing its uniqueness, versatility, affordability, reliability and eco-friendliness. The Global Cycle Day is celebrated to recognise the significance of cycling as a mode of transportation for over two centuries, its longevity and usefulness.
On the occasion of World Cycle Day, the UN appeals to its shareholders and members to understand and generate awareness on the advantages of cycling.
However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Bicycle Day won't be celebrated with pomp and show and people and various organisations committed to promoting cycling will be organising different online events.
People in these virtual events will discuss cycling related events like cycle races, slow cycling competitions and other programmes.
