Brake for joy. World Bicycle Day

Two wheels, no fuel and a whole lot of purpose—cycling is affordable, eco-friendly and easy on the planet. Something as simple as cycling can significantly boost your health, and swapping the car for a bicycle is an easy way to stay active. Moreover, cycling helps reduce pollution, eases traffic congestion and offers an affordable transport option for those without access to cars. Because of all these benefits, the United Nations dedicated June 3 as World Bicycle Day—a day to celebrate everything this amazing two-wheeler stands for. If there's one place that brings the cycling spirit to life, it's the Netherlands. Today's image captures bicycles lined up on a bridge in Utrecht. More than half the journeys around the city happen on bikes, surpassing cars and other transport options.

Nearly everyone lives within 15 minutes of essentials—and over 90% can reach key places in just 10. This wasn't always the case. It was only in the 1970s, sparked by an oil crisis, rising car-related issues and strong social movements, that the country started prioritising bikes over cars. Cycling in Canada takes many forms, from daily commutes to school or work to recreational rides and competitive sports like mountain biking, BMX and road racing. Infrastructure quality and cycling laws—such as helmet rules—vary by province. Advocacy efforts and improved urban infrastructure have boosted the popularity of bike commuting. Across this vast and diverse country, the perception of safety and access to cycling-friendly spaces significantly influences how often Canadians choose to ride, whether for necessity, sport or leisure.
