Today is the first World Bicycle Day ever! According to the United Nations website, this official awareness day celebrates "the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries".
World Bicycle Day came to be thanks to Professor Leszek Sibilski, who embarked on an academic project in 2015 to explore the role of bicycles in development. On April 12, 2018, a coalition of 57 countries led by Turkmenistan sponsored his proposal and made it happen!
