Senior Citizens in Voerde are invited to attend a complimentary, two-day pedelec (electric bicycle) seminar, organized by the Wesel County Police in Wesel.

In response to the high number of traffic accidents involving cyclists and pedelec users in Wesel, the traffic accident prevention colleagues in Wesel are offering an intensive training course for pedelec users aged 65 and above. The training will take place over two days, with a time gap in between to allow learned behavioral patterns to be reinforced.

The training will take place on September 19 and 23, 2025, at the sports facility of SV Friedrichsfeld in Voerde. Due to limited participant places, registration is required for the training.

For those interested in attending, registration can be done by phone at 0281-107 7777 or by email at [email protected]. Further information about the training can be found on the attached information poster. The contact information for media representatives can also be found at wesel.polizei.nrw.
