When: June 3 |
Where: 🌐 Everywhere |
First occurrence: 2018 |
Professor Leszek Sibilski, social scientist, campaigned with his sociology class to promote a UN Resolution for World Bicycle Day. In April 2018, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 3 as World Bicycle Day to promote how cool bikes are.🚴🚴♀️🚴♂️ |
Bicycles were invented in the 1800s and after a few awkward designs quickly became popular. The fact that bicycles are easy to use, require no fuel and are a lot more compact than most transport vehicles is what makes bicycles still go almost 2 centuries later! |
Bicycles played an important part in Western female emancipation. Because to ride a bicycle, a big dress is not very practical. Special bicycle suits were designed for women which included a pair of trousers. This made some women realize that they really loved the comfort and freedom of wearing trousers. |
Any time you think that it’s too much effort to ride a bicycle, remember that the bicycle was invented and developed by people who thought that walking was too much effort. Laziness can lead to great inventions! |
Do we need to say that riding the bicycle to work or school leads to regular healthy exercise? |
“Life is like riding a bicycle – in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.” –Albert Einstein |
