Wermelskirchen: Missing bike parking systems endanger bicycle purchases!

Wermelskirchen. Check supermarkets. In view of its results, the mood is rather subdued: The general German bicycle club (ADFC) notes that there are still considerable defects in many places. It is particularly problematic that the frame of the bicycle can often not be secured, which is often a prerequisite for insurance.

In the city there is a clear wish to improve the infrastructure for cyclists. Often it is a simple but effective upgrade that could make more people move to the way to the supermarket by bike. The two active people tried to talk to those responsible for the food markets, but with moderate success. Such a dialogue would not only be advantageous for cyclists, but could also help the market operators to win new customer groups.

The idea behind these considerations is simple: If supermarkets would create better storage facilities for bicycles, this could cause more Wermelskircheners to do their shopping by bike. An example of this is the storage facility at Lidl on Thomas-Mann-Strasse, which already receives positive feedback. This type of commitment could also give new impulses in the city center, since the way to shopping is often within reach.

The question remains how openly the business operators will be in the future for cycling. A cyclist -friendly attitude could not only help increase the number of wheel users, but also to strengthen the image of the brand among environmentally conscious customers. Talks and dialogue are necessary to get a win-win situation in which everyone involved can benefit.
