In addition to riding technique exercises to train coordination and reaction, the four-hour courses also cover road safety topics. Participants rehearse special riding situations in order to develop a feel for the bike - and then be able to ride safely in traffic.
The number of two-wheelers with an auxiliary motor on the roads is increasing: two million pedelecs were sold in 2022 - a record to date. However, pedelec riding is different from conventional cycling, if only because of the strong acceleration and higher weight. Newcomers should therefore take a little time to get to know the pedelec better and adjust to the new riding experience - in order to get around safely and have fun.
The "radspaß - sicher e-biken" (cycling fun - safe e-biking) project run by the Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club (ADFC) and the Württemberg Cycling Association (WRSV) is designed with this in mind. Special riding safety training courses are designed to teach cyclists safety in critical situations, confidence in road traffic and riding enjoyment.
