May 15 - The Sint-Niklaas Police Department is now using Santos Patrol Bikes to support its bicycle patrol team in public surveillance and intervention tasks. These bikes are strong, agile, and low-maintenance – ideal for fast and flexible police work in busy urban traffic and hard-to-reach areas like parks and pedestrian zones. The bikes feature a striking Battenburg pattern, enhancing visibility on the streets. With this choice, Sint-Niklaas is clearly embracing a forward-looking image, in anticipation of the new yellow cycling uniform expected in late 2026 or early 2027. Santos Bikes thanks the Sint-Niklaas Police Department for their trust and is proud to contribute to modern and accessible policing in this way.
