Berlin’s police force recently acquired cargo bikes for officers as part of the city’s mobility turnaround reports the Berliner Morgenpost. Currently police also have access to around 630 bicycles and officials claim that the program promotes a better understanding between cyclists, pedestrians and drivers.

The cargo bikes are being used by traffic safety advisors for accident prevention, advising day-care centres, elementary schools and special schools, to support children.
