The World Health Organization has recommended it both as a mode of transport and as a way of staying healthy during the global crisis.

With World Bicycle Day set for 3 June 2020, now is a good time to take stock of the benefits of the bicycle both for staying healthy and as a sustainable mode of transport during (and after) the global crisis.

This World Bicycle Day, the UN encourages governments to improve road safety and better integrate the needs of cyclists into the design of transport infrastructure.

Millions of people around the world use a bicycle as their primary means of transportation, either as choice riders or captive riders.

World Bicycle Day is a celebration of this instrument of zero emissions mobility and connectivity.
