Every year, we celebrate World Bicycle Day on June 3. This year too, we follow tradition and celebrate World Bicycle Day 2024 on June 3. The day is celebrated to highlight the importance and benefits of riding a bicycle. While cycling is well-known for its positive impact on health, it is also great for the environment since it produces no pollution. Because bicycles are reliable, environmentally friendly and affordable, they are a sustainable mode of transport.

Riding a bicycle has been known to improve overall health, and it has been a popular activity for both children and adults. In addition, bicycles promote inclusivity because they are affordable for people of all economic backgrounds. Keeping these factors in mind, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 3 as World Bicycle Day to recognise and appreciate the bicycle's versatility and longevity. On this day, the UN encourages everyone to promote the advantages of cycling. World Bicycle Day: Quotes That Will Inspire You Peddle Into an Environmentally Sustainable Future.
