Bike for Climate
From April 21 to 27, we will ‘Bike for Climate,’ your chance to pedal against the tide of greenhouse gas emissions from personal vehicles that fuel global warming and trigger severe environmental events. When you choose to bike, you’re powering more than just your journey. You’re actively supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—especially Goal #3 for health and well-being, and Goal #13 for climate action.
