Bicycle Safety Seminar in Japanese

The Road Traffic Law stipulates rules governing the use of bicycles. The Bicycle Safety Seminar provides children and their parents with the opportunity to learn these rules through practical and easy-to-understand explanations, with the aim of protecting children from traffic accidents and promoting safer use of bicycles. All families are encouraged to join this seminar.

The Bicycle Seminar is held twice a year in spring and autumn in Japanese.
