One of the goals of World Bicycle Day is to raise global awareness of the importance of bicycles and promote recognition among governments, international organizations, and the public about the role of bicycles as tools for sustainable development and social progress. This day also reminds people of the benefits of bicycles in reducing traffic congestion, improving health, enhancing connectivity, and preserving the environment.

On World Bicycle Day, various activities are organized worldwide to celebrate this occasion. These activities may include bicycle rides, cycling tours, races, bicycle repair workshops, environmental awareness campaigns, and bicycle safety education. These events aim to encourage people to ride bicycles, promote eco-friendly transportation, and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

The establishment of World Bicycle Day provides a greater platform for global bicycle advocacy and sustainable transportation development. It reminds us to focus on environmental and health issues and encourages individuals to contribute to personal health and global sustainable development through cycling.
