?? World Bike Day - 3rd of June ??

???? June 3rd is World Bike Day, and we at Donkey Republic are excited to invite everyone to join us in celebrating this efficient, healthy, and sustainable mode of transportation: the humble bicycle. By choosing to cycle, you make a positive impact on your health, the city you live in, and the environment. ???????

?? Individuals.

• Physical Health: Just 30 minutes of daily cycling can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 35%. Source.
• Burn calories, not fuel: Cycling at a moderate pace can help you burn around 300 calories per hour, and you can burn even more by increasing the intensity. Source.
• Savings: By choosing the bike, you can save over €3000 per year in gas, parking, car maintenance, and transportation tickets. Source.

??? Cities.

• Reduced traffic: Shifting just 10% of urban journeys from cars to bicycles could reduce traffic congestion by up to 40%, making cities more livable and commutes more enjoyable. Source .
• Better use of public space: Each car parking space can accommodate around 10 to 12 bikes, freeing up significant public space for parks, amenities, or pedestrian plazas.

• Public health: Every 3km bike ride saves €2.67 in healthcare costs. Source .

?? The Environment.

• Cut greenhouse emissions: In 2022 alone, Donkey riders saved 573 tons of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. Source .
• Lower noise pollution: Bicycles are much quieter than cars and motorbikes. Increased cycling and reduced motorized vehicle use can lead to a substantial reduction in noise pollution, creating more peaceful and enjoyable urban environments.
• Sustainable material use: Bicycles require 185 times less material to manufacture and maintain than cars, leading to a reduction in resource extraction and waste. Source .

Let's come together on World Bike Day to celebrate the power of cycling and its remarkable benefits for individuals, cities, and the environment! ?????
