Successful introduction of a novel senior cycling initiative in Borken county; future events to be announced

"Borken county introduces innovative 'senior cycling' program – future events to be announced"

The German Red Cross (DRK) in the Kreis Borken has announced plans to introduce a new senior cycling concept as part of its ongoing prevention work in the district. The aim of the event is to improve road safety for senior cyclists.

The senior cycling concept was initiated by the Traffic Division of the Circular Police Department Borken and was launched in the district town of Gronau. Dr. Kai Zwicker, a patron of the action, welcomed the participants at the event.

The event, which was attended by 12 seniors and police officers, focused on the special objectives of the senior cycling concept. Dr. Zwicker emphasized that cycling is important for fitness, fun, and mobility in old age, and that the new senior cycling aims to focus on safety and prevention.

Police officers provided tips on behaviour at intersections and roundabouts, the correct use of cycle paths, and the importance of helmets, lights, and roadworthy equipment. The route guidance is oriented towards current accident hotspots in the district area.

The senior cycling concept is intended to take place regularly in the future, with further dates for the year 2025 being announced shortly. Interested seniors are cordially invited to note the upcoming dates in their calendars. However, the specific dates for 2026 have not been published in the available sources, with no information about the 2026 schedule announcement found in the searched results.

For media inquiries, contact the Circular Police Department Borken. Contact persons at the department include Sandra Biedermann, Leonie Dreier, Markus Huls, Peter Lefering, Thorsten Ohm, Muzeyyen Sander, and Tina Schellberg.

For general enquiries, the contact information for the Circular Police Department Borken can be found at https://borken.polizei.nrw. The number of participants in this concept is limited to a maximum of 12 people.

The senior cycling concept in Gronau is part of the ongoing prevention work of the district and the police, and is a significant step towards improving road safety for senior cyclists in the Borken district. Dates for the year 2025 will be published by the police at the beginning of the coming year.
