Pedal Power: Celebrate World Bicycle Day on 3 June!

Get ready to pump up your tyres – World Bicycle Day is just around the corner on 3 June! Declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2018, this special day highlights the uniqueness, longevity, versatility and benefits of the humble bicycle. More than just a mode of transport, the bicycle represents a symbol of sustainable transportation, health, education and social inclusion.

Riding a bike offers a wealth of advantages for individuals and the planet. From a personal perspective, cycling is a fantastic way to boost physical and mental health. Beyond individual well-being, cycling contributes to a greener environment by reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion. 

So, how can you celebrate World Bicycle Day here in WA? There are plenty of ways to get involved! Consider riding to work or   school instead of driving. If you're not a regular bike rider, perhaps today is the perfect day to dust off that old bike in the shed or consider visiting a local bike shop.

If you’re planning an event at school or work, check out the Your Move Rewards Shop to redeem some great bicycle related prizes such as vouchers for your local bike shop, water bottles, stickers, bike pumps and bike accessories such as bike locks and bike bells.

World Bicycle Day could also be the perfect opportunity to host a Bike Bus. Find out more about what’s involved in organising a Bike Bus.

You may also consider organising a bike mechanic to come to your school to conduct bike checks for everyone riding. Did you know you can redeem a Bike Check-up Package from the Your Move Rewards Shop for 750 points.

We can’t wait to see how you celebrate World Bicycle Day!
