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.
As someone who bikes for transport & don’t do any training, 12mph/20kmph is about what I max out at. If I were to train/ride more I could def go faster than that on my regular non-ebike
