World Bicycle Day / Bike Week 2025 !!!

Bike Week 2025 is taking place from June 9–15, and it’s your chance to be part of the UK’s biggest celebration of cycling!

World Bicycle Day takes place on the 3rd of June each year, celebrating the role of bicycles in promoting health, sustainability, and transportation.

World Bicycle Day (June 3rd) is now being associated with promoting a healthy lifestyle for those with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and draws attention to the benefits of using the bicycle — a simple, affordable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transportation. The bicycle contributes to cleaner air and less congestion and makes education, health care and other social services more accessible to the most vulnerable populations.

Walk, bike or take public transport

The world’s roadways are clogged with vehicles, most of them burning diesel or gasoline. Walking or riding a bike instead of driving will reduce greenhouse gas emissions — and help your health and fitness. For longer distances, consider taking a train or bus. And carpool whenever possible. Living car-free can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 2 tons of CO2e per year compared to a lifestyle using a car. Learn more about how to green your travel.
