Islamabad, Today marks the global celebration of World Bicycle Day, emphasizing the bicycle’s role in promoting health, equity, and environmental sustainability. This observance highlights the importance of cycling as a practical and eco-friendly mode of transportation.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the United Nations General Assembly designated June 3 as World Bicycle Day back in April 2018.
