■ Hokkaido's Bicycle Season is Here! Public Interest in Bicycle Traffic Safety is Rising!
Certified NPO Porocle is engaged in various activities to contribute to the urban development, human resource cultivation, and overall appeal of Sapporo through its bike-sharing business.
Porocle has been collaborating with the Hokkaido Development Bureau under an agreement for mutual cooperation during disasters. Similarly, the professional basketball team Levanga Hokkaido has a comprehensive partnership agreement with the Hokkaido Development Bureau to promote regional revitalization. Based on these dual relationships (Porocle–Hokkaido Development Bureau and Levanga Hokkaido–Hokkaido Development Bureau), the three parties have come together for a co-creation project: producing educational videos for bicycle traffic rules and manners.
On April 1, 2026, the 'Traffic Infraction Notification System (Blue Ticket)' will be applied to bicycles, further increasing public interest in safety. The produced videos consist of short clips from Lesson 1 to 11 and a comprehensive long-form video. Hiroto Kikuchi, a player for Levanga Hokkaido (originally from Kitami, Hokkaido), appears in the videos to demonstrate basic cycling methods and rules, including details about the new 'Blue Ticket' system.
