On a crisp February day in 1930, Albert Einstein imparted timeless wisdom to his son Eduard through a simple metaphor: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” This profound piece of advice, nestled in a letter, encapsulates the essence of resilience and forward momentum.
Fast forward to 1933, a photograph captures Einstein himself demonstrating this very principle as he rides a bicycle through the sunny streets of Santa Barbara, USA.
The image, now iconic, is a perfect testament to his philosophy—showing that even the greatest minds find clarity and joy in the simple act of cycling.
As we celebrate #WorldBicycleDay, let us remember Einstein’s message and embrace the journey of life with balance and persistence, much like the steady rhythm of a bicycle wheel.
