History of Bicycle Day and How to Celebrate/ Observe It
Bicycle Day is an annual celebration of the day on which Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann first ingested LSD. The event commemorates the day in 1943 when Hofmann took a now-infamous bicycle ride after accidentally ingesting the powerful psychedelic drug. The day has since become a popular occasion for people to take LSD and other psychedelics in honor of Hofmann’s “bicycle trip.” Many consider Bicycle Day to be an important part of the history of LSD and the psychedelic movement. Some believe that the day highlights the potential of psychedelics to promote creativity, self-exploration, and spiritual growth. Others see it as a way to celebrate the power of these substances and to call for their legal regulation. Whatever one’s perspective, Bicycle Day is an opportunity to reflect on the place of psychedelics in our society and culture.
