Three-Day Cycling Course for Children Promotes Road Safety in Eutin
In a bid to promote road safety, the Lübeck Police organized a three-day cycling course for children aged 7 to 9 in Eutin from July 28 to 30, 2025. The course, a resounding success, aimed to lay the foundation for safe cycling behavior.
The cycling course focused on improving motor skills such as slalom riding, one-handed steering, shoulder checks, and crossing a seesaw. Police traffic instructors Heike Schmidt and Andrea Otte taught the key traffic rules during the course.
A highlight of the course was a joint ride through the city of Eutin, where various bike paths were tested. The mix of exercise, learning success, and fun was greatly appreciated by the participants. A total of 25 children participated in the course.
Children under eight were taught to ride on the sidewalk, while those over ten can ride on the road if there is no bike path. The course not only taught the children practical knowledge but also boosted their confidence in road safety. It emphasized the importance of mutual respect on the roads.
The success of the cycling course suggests a positive impact on road safety education for children. The positive feedback from participants indicates a successful blend of education, exercise, and fun. The course's continuation indicates a commitment to promoting road safety in the region.
