June 3 — World Bicycle Day: important knowledge for every cyclist

Every year on June 3, many countries celebrate World Bicycle Day, which promotes a healthy lifestyle and environmental protection. This holiday unites cyclists worldwide.

World Bicycle Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2018 to highlight the benefits of this affordable and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. The holiday highlights the importance of cycling in promoting people’s health and protecting the environment.

A bicycle symbolizes freedom, mobility, and an active lifestyle. This holiday provides an opportunity to highlight the positive impact of two-wheeled transport on reducing pollutant emissions, enhancing physical fitness, and creating a more comfortable urban environment.

In different countries, bike rides, flash mobs, educational events, and campaigns dedicated to safe cycling are held. In Ukraine, the number of cycling communities supporting this holiday is also increasing, with many organizing joint city trips and educational campaigns.

On the occasion of the holiday, it is important to follow traffic rules, wear helmets and other protective equipment, and respect other road users. This makes riding safer and emphasizes the culture of cyclists.

World Bicycle Day is an excellent opportunity to go outside, enjoy the movement, and take care of your health and the state of the planet. Every cyclist makes the world a better place!

Additionally, on May 28, local historians, teachers, museum workers, librarians, and everyone who preserves Ukraine’s cultural heritage are honored.
