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.
Here we have 20km/h on e-scooters (and non-pedal stuff like hoover boards etc) and e-bikes 25km/h. - I think that works really good. Sure, I would like more than 20kmh on my e-scooter, but when walking I am sure glad they don’t go faster when they pass me by.
