This Week in Jobs: Take these 24 tech career opportunities for a spin
The celebration was originated by Professor Leszek Sibilski, a Polish-American social scientist and cyclist whose academic project on bicycles and sustainability became a global initiative in the 2010s. It was declared by the United Nations in April 2018.
Bicycles, invented in Germany more than 200 years ago, have stood the test of time as a simple, affordable and reliable means of transportation that is good for environmental sustainability and health.
Since 2020, the popularity of bicycles, including electric bikes, has exploded. During the COVID lockdowns, when people were seeking safe outdoor activities for fitness and mental health, many cities saw record-breaking purchases and rentals — notably, the Citi Bike system in New York City saw a 67% increase during the early part of the pandemic.
The popularity of bike-sharing programs didn't end with the lockdowns. In fact, their popularity continues to rise: Between March 2024 and March 2025, docked bike-share trips in major U.S. cities experienced a 17.5% increase.
Riding a bike is kind of like a job search: balance, momentum and the occasional hill climb are part of the ride.

Libyan PM Dbeibah offers $70 billion economic partnership to US President's advisor
Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah met on Wednesday in Tripoli with the advisor to the US President Donald Trump for African affairs, Massad Boulos, to discuss opportunities for joint cooperation in the fields of energy, minerals, infrastructure, healthcare, and telecommunications. According to the Prime Minister's media office, Dbeibah emphasized the National Unity Government's keenness to build economic partnerships with the US that would pave the way for major American companies to participate in development and investment projects. The office added that the Libyan government team presented a detailed proposal outlining strategic economic partnership opportunities worth approximately $70 billion. These include ready-to-launch projects in the sectors of energy, minerals, electricity, infrastructure, and telecommunications, providing a structured and direct pathway for US investment in the Libyan market. The meeting also addressed recent developments in Libya's oil sector, particularly regarding new opportunities in both offshore and onshore blocks, as well as ongoing efforts to boost transparency and achieve sustainable returns within a stable energy framework. Discussions extended to the Palestinian issue, as Dbeibah - according to his media office - strongly condemned the crimes, starvation, and ongoing aggression faced by the Palestinian people in Gaza. Dbeibah also stressed the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire, lifting of the blockade, and protection of civilians from the ravages of war. Meanwhile, Boulos expressed the US administration's support for stability efforts in Libya, reaffirming Washington's interest in continuing coordination and expanding areas of cooperation with the National Unity Government. Boulos arrived in Tripoli earlier on Wednesday as part of a visit aimed at enhancing bilateral cooperation and exploring prospects for strategic partnership between the two countries.
