The Holzkirchen inspection pedal patrol went on tour for the first time. For now, the e-bikes are only rented.
In the foreseeable future, they will be part of the department's permanent inventory. The bike patrol could fully switch on the electric motor, turn on a blue light indicator built into the front and be there quickly. The weapon and radio are carried on the body. Breathalyzer tests and warning pads are stored in the luggage rack case. “We even have card reading devices with us if a fine is due,” says Ulrich Meier, bicycle expert for the HolzKirchen officials.. Many cyclists were curious and thought it was good that the police were also on the bike and showing their presence,’ reports Meier. ‘Many people sought the conversation on their own initiative’ If possible, they would like to rent the patrol bikes again soon, Meier then plans patrols on school routes or at dusk in order to specifically check the issue of light.
