The United Nations recognized June 3rd as International World Bicycle Day in April 2018. The World Bicycle Day resolution celebrates "the uniqueness, longevity, and adaptability of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries, and that it is a simple, inexpensive, dependable, clean, and ecologically suitable sustainable mode of transportation."
