Free protective gear is being made available to those cyclists who missed out during a bike safety campaign.
From Wednesday (17 October 2012) any remaining Think Bike safety kits, which were handed out during the force-wide campaign between 25 September and 16 October, will be available at Central, Mansfield and Newark police stations.
There are a limited number of packs, which include a high-visibility rucksack and jacket, a multi-tool, bike lock and lights, remaining and cyclists are being advised to phone the station via 101 to check whether there are any left before attending.
There will be one pack per person, while stocks last.
Chief Inspector Andy Charlton, Force-lead for road casualty reduction, said: “The Nottinghamshire Road Safety Partnership hopes to be running similar events in 2013.
“We believe that increasing the visibility of all cyclists is a potent tool in increasing their safety and, in turn, reducing incidents of serious injury or death on our roads.
“Along with the same campaign we ran in May, once the rest of the packs have been handed out we can be more comfortable in the knowledge that this year there are 4,000 more cyclists out there being seen on our roads.”
