DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/72/272)\n\n\n\n	Regular physical activity of moder
	ate intensity – such as walking\, cycling\, or doing sports – has sign
	ificant benefits for health. At all ages\, the benefits of being physicall
	y active outweigh potential harm\, for example through accidents. Some phy
	sical activity is better than none. By becoming more active throughout the
	 day in relatively simple ways\, people can quite easily achieve the recom
	mended activity levels.\n\n\n\n	According to the World Health Organization
	 (WHO)\, safe infrastructure for walking and cycling is also a pathway for
	 achieving greater health equity. For the poorest urban sector\, who often
	 cannot afford private vehicles\, walking and cycling can provide a form o
	f transport while reducing the risk of heart disease\, stroke\, certain ca
	ncers\, diabetes\, and even death. Accordingly\, improved active transport
	 is not only healthy\; it is also equitable and cost-effective.\n\n\n\n	Me
	eting the needs of people who walk and cycle continues to be a critical pa
	rt of the mobility solution for helping cities de-couple population growth
	 from increased emissions\, and to improve air quality and road safety. Th
	e COVID-19 pandemic has also led many cities to rethink their transport sy
	stems.\n\n\n\n	Cycling and Sustainable development\n\n	World Bicycle Day d
	raws attention to the benefits of using the bicycle — a simple\, afforda
	ble\, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transportation. T
	he bicycle contributes to cleaner air and less congestion and makes educat
	ion\, health care and other social services more accessible to the most vu
	lnerable populations. A sustainable transport system that promotes economi
	c growth\, reduces inequalities while bolstering the fight against climate
	 change is critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.\n\n\n\
	n	Background\n\n	Acknowledging the uniqueness\, longevity and versatility 
	of the bicycle\, which has been in use for two centuries\, and that it is 
	a simple\, affordable\, reliable\, clean and environmentally fit sustainab
	le means of transportation\, fostering environmental stewardship and healt
	h\, the General Assembly decided to declare 3 June World Bicycle Day.\n\n\
	n\n	It encouraged stakeholders to emphasize and advance the use of the bic
	ycle as a means of fostering sustainable development\, strengthening educa
	tion\, including physical education\, for children and young people\, prom
	oting health\, preventing disease\, promoting tolerance\, mutual understan
	ding and respect and facilitating social inclusion and a culture of peace.
	\n\n\n\n	The Assembly welcomed initiatives to organize bicycle rides at th
	e national and local levels as a means of strengthening physical and menta
	l health and well-being and developing a culture of cycling in society.\n\
