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
