The 193 members of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on 15 March stating that the bicycle was a tool for combatting climate change.
The resolution, proposed by Turkmenistan, was passed unanimously. The non-binding resolution calls on member states to “integrate the bicycle into public transportation, in urban and rural settings in developing and developed countries.”
It would have been better if the word adopted was “cycle” because bicycle refers only to two-wheeled cycles and therefore excludes tricycles and quadricycles and even unicycles.
