Watch out cyclists! Helmet carrier saves life - bicycle action day in Stralsund!

On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the fish market in Stralsund will be transformed into a scene of security on two wheels from 12 noon to 5 p.m. The Stralsund police inspection organizes a bicycle campaign day that revolves around the subject of helmet. On this important day, the Stralsund traffic watch and a local bicycle dealer will also be part of the party to promote safety for cyclists.

The event for this initiative is the alarming numbers from 2024, in which many cyclists have suffered fatal or serious injuries without a helmet. Studies show that about 80% of severe head injuries could be avoided by wearing a helmet. Visitors to the campaign day also get the opportunity to have their bicycles coded - everything you need is a valid ID card. The police are asking to always secure bicycles and gives helpful tips against theft, such as using robust locks and securing valuable parts to e-bikes.
