Porocle, a certified NPO operating the shared bicycle service "Porocle" in Sapporo City, has produced an awareness video with the men's professional volleyball team "Hokkaido Yellow Stars" to make learning about the safe use of bicycles fun.

The video features Sota Yoshimura (jersey number 9) and Teru Shimanami (jersey number 73) from the Hokkaido Yellow Stars, a team belonging to the SV League. They will learn about basic bicycle traffic rules and safe riding methods in an enjoyable way.

Hokkaido Yellow Stars and certified NPO Porocle signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement in April 2026 with the aim of promoting traffic safety, revitalizing the community, and improving health. The production of this video is one of those initiatives.

About the Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement

Players Challenge Seriously! Learn Bicycle Rules Fun Through Quizzes

In the video produced this time, Yoshimura and Shimanami players, along with Porocle staff, will take on quizzes related to bicycle riding.

For example:

- Where should bicycles be ridden on the road?

- How should you avoid parked vehicles on the street?

- How should you turn right?

These scenarios cover situations that can be confusing during everyday bicycle use.

The content allows viewers to learn traffic rules in a relatable way through the players' camaraderie and their enjoyable approach to the quizzes. The video is approximately 10 minutes long and is available on the official Porocle YouTube channel.

An Opportunity to Ride a Bicycle "Safely and Enjoyably"

Porocle is used by many people as a shared bicycle service that allows for convenient travel around Sapporo. To use bicycles safely, it is important to know the traffic rules and master the correct riding methods according to road conditions.

This video, produced with players from the Hokkaido Yellow Stars, was designed to be a fun way to learn bicycle rules through quizzes. We hope it will be an opportunity for those who use bicycles regularly, as well as those who "have become concerned about the rules and ride less often," and those who are considering using Porocle for the first time, to ride bicycles safely and enjoyably.

The video consists of two parts, Part 1 and Part 2. Following the release of Part 1, Part 2 will also be released. We will continue to work on disseminating information and conducting awareness activities related to the safe use of bicycles through our collaboration with the Hokkaido Yellow Stars.

Autographs from Yoshimura and Shimanami Players on a Single "Yesuta-go" Bicycle

The two players who appeared in this video have signed Porocle's special edition bicycle, the "Yesuta SV League Promotion Go."

This one-of-a-kind yellow special edition bicycle, launched to commemorate the team's promotion to the SV League, can be used just like a regular Porocle bicycle and is part of an initiative to create opportunities for chance encounters in the city of Sapporo.

After watching the video and confirming safe riding methods, we will encourage bicycle use by having people search for the Yesuta-go and enjoy cycling around Sapporo.
