Happy World Bicycle Day!
The celebration was originated by Professor Leszek Sibilski, a Polish-American social scientist and cyclist whose academic project on bicycles and sustainability became a global initiative in the 2010s. It was declared by the United Nations in April 2018.
Bicycles, invented in Germany more than 200 years ago, have stood the test of time as a simple, affordable and reliable means of transportation that is good for environmental sustainability and health.
Since 2020, the popularity of bicycles, including electric bikes, has exploded. During the COVID lockdowns, when people were seeking safe outdoor activities for fitness and mental health, many cities saw record-breaking purchases and rentals — notably, the Citi Bike system in New York City saw a 67% increase during the early part of the pandemic.
The popularity of bike-sharing programs didn’t end with the lockdowns. In fact, their popularity continues to rise: Between March 2024 and March 2025, docked bike-share trips in major U.S. cities experienced a 17.5% increase.
Riding a bike is kind of like a job search: balance, momentum and the occasional hill climb are part of the ride.
