The Fietsersbond reports in a press release on their website that they and ROV Zuid-Holland have made ten short instructional videos about safe cycling on the electric bicycle. Here, TestKees tackles various topics and gives useful tips about what to pay attention to if you want to cycle safely electrically. What should you pay attention to when purchasing an e-bike? How can you cycle as safely as possible and which materials make cycling more comfortable and safer? These videos are aimed at the experienced cyclist who wants to be able to continue cycling safely.

In any film we see TestKees explain one of the subjects in a clear way. He explains the advantages and disadvantages of a mid-engine and a front-wheel motor and indicates which brakes work well in which situation. He also gives tips on how to properly adjust the saddle and focuses on the different gears. Does a hub gear suit you better or a derailleur gear? All in all, there are many options and possibilities, but Kees guides the viewer through the choices that exist in an understandable way. The videos are meant to let everyone cycle safely and for longer.

Cycling skills

In addition to having all materials in order, cycling skills are also discussed. For example, cyclists can improve their skills on a cycling skill course. Matters such as the unexpected emergency stop, getting on and off safely, driving off smoothly and stably and cycling without swaying are discussed. The videos were made for the Make a point from zero campaign.

These videos are not the only activities of the Fietsersbond and ROV Zuid-Holland for seniors. Doorstep Days are organized in various South Holland municipalities where cyclists can increase their knowledge and skills, see www.doortrappen.nl. The national program is specifically aimed at the experienced and senior cyclist. The Fietsersbond is also regularly involved in these days through the Bicycle School.
