Cycling in danger: More and more children can no longer drive!

Straubing, Deutschland - In Straubing, an alarming development is emerging: Fewer and fewer children can ride a bike! The first steps on two wheels start with the impeller, but the trend is worrying. Police chief Lisa Heigl warns: "The number of children who can ride a bicycle badly or not at all grows." This worrying statement comes as part of the cycling training, which was carried out for around 500 fourth graders in the new youth traffic school.

The traffic instructors of the police inspection, including police chief Robert Zwickenpflug, took a close look at the pupils' cycling skills. The results show that more and more children have difficulty being safe and confident by bike. This development could have far -reaching consequences for traffic safety and the mobility of the younger generation. The police are committed to ensuring that the children not only learn the basics of cycling, but also develop a feeling for safety in road traffic.

Cycling training is an important step to promote children's skills and prepare them for the challenges in road traffic. But the increasing number of children who cannot cycle properly raises questions. What are the reasons for this decline? Is there no incentives or are it the changed living conditions? The police want to counteract the trend and plan to further intensify the training in order to prepare the children on the street as best as possible.
