Informative gathering or workshop aimed at learning and knowledge acquisition.
Refreshed and Informal Take:
On June 15, 2025, we hosted a smashing event on "Staying Safe on Two Wheels: Navigating Daily Traffic" at the old horse-racing track in Dinslaken, and let me tell you, it was a blast!
The little tykes were a bundle of energy, soaking up rules and tips for safer cycling like sponges. The adults weren't far behind, eager to level up their cycling game too.
Our go-to guy, Mr. R., laid it all out with his A-game presentation. He broke down everything from bike handling techniques to traffic etiquette, and even pointed out common pitfalls to avoid on the road. Dude was on point, informative, and easy to follow, even for us newbie cyclists.
Shoutout to Walsum-Overbruch-Fahrn for keeping us refreshed with drinks and making the event run smoothly. The organizational skills were top-notch, making everyone feel right at home.
As the event wrapped up, we were all on the same page: cyclists and bicycles are now considerably safer on the road! It wasn't just about stuffing our heads with info, but also fostering a sense of community and highlighting prevention and education's importance.
So, until the next ride,
Cheers, Seyit ✌️
