Launch of innovative 'senior cycling' initiative in Borken county succeeds - future events to be announced
The Kreispolizeibehörde Borken has announced the launch of a new senior cycling concept, aimed at combining the joy of cycling with practical tips for accident prevention. The initiative, which took place in Gronau on Thursday, saw 12 seniors accompanied by police officers as they went cycling.
The senior cycling concept, supported by the Traffic Directorate of the Borken Circular Police Department, focuses on safety and prevention, particularly in the Borken district, which has the highest pedelec ownership rate nationwide. By driving through typical danger situations together, knowledge remains better anchored in everyday life.
Dr. Kai Zwicker, District Administrator and patron of the action, welcomed the participants personally. The number of participants in this concept is limited to a maximum of 12 people to cater to individual needs.
The goal of the senior cycling concept is to educate seniors about safe cycling practices, such as the correct use of cycle paths, behavior at intersections and roundabouts, and the importance of helmets, lights, and roadworthy equipment. Police officers provided tips at the start of the event to ensure participants were well-informed.
The route guidance is based on current accident hotspots in the district, helping seniors to learn about and avoid potential hazards. The organizers of the senior cycling concept are optimistic about its success and invite all interested seniors to take note of the upcoming dates.
Dates for the year 2026 will be published at the beginning of the coming year by the police. The further dates for senior cycling in the Kreis Borken for the year 2026 will likely be published by the local organizing or cycling clubs in the Kreis Borken area, possibly associated with the Red Cross (Rotes Kreuz) in Kreis Borken, since they organize related senior activities. However, no specific person or organization responsible for publishing the 2026 senior cycling schedule in Kreis Borken is identified in the available information.
For media inquiries, Sandra Biedermann, Leonie Dreier, Markus Huls, Peter Lefering, Thorsten Ohm, Muzeyyen Sander, and Tina Schellberg can be contacted. Their contact information can be found at borken.polizei.nrw.
The information provided is from the Kreispolizeibehörde Borken and was transmitted via news aktuell. The senior cycling concept will occur regularly in the future in the Borken district. Further dates for the year 2025 will be announced shortly.
