As road deaths increase and cycle lanes overflow with e-bikes, the Netherlands is considering a cycling speed limit of 12mph (20km/h).
The government has started a two-week trial in Houten, near Utrecht, to gauge whether freedom-loving Dutch cyclists are willing to slow down – and whether they have any idea how fast they are going in the first place.



Wow, 20kmph is like easily achievable on a flat land. I usually did around 17-25kmph depend on where the wind blow, and i considered myself a slow cyclist.
