This day is celebrated annually on June 3, 2024. The United National General Assembly declared World Bicycle Day in April 2018. 

Professor Leszek Sibilski, a Polish-American social scientist and cycling advocate came up with this idea, which led his sociology class to promote the bicycle. The resolution was adopted by all the 193 member states, demonstrating global support for cycling. 

The bicycle has been around for over two centuries.

The first bicycles, the "dandy horses" were invented in the early 19th century. Since then, bicycles have evolved significantly and have become a crucial part of many people's daily lives.
