Each year, June 3 is UN World Bike Day – a day dedicated by the UN to celebrating bicycles and biking!
“World Bicycle Day draws attention to the benefits of using the bicycle — a simple, affordable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transportation.”
–United Nations
Montgomery County hopes that biking will become a daily means of transportation that can help achieve local sustainability goals and improve our lives and health.
Stone Ridge 5th graders celebrated World Bike Day by learning about biking around the world and bike safety, and practicing bike maintenance and tuning. In the sunny late morning, they took to Rock Creek Trail for a 5-mile group bike ride.
