- cr1895 10y agoNominally they can't go faster than that. But they do.
- cerebellum42 10y agoI mean, plenty of cyclists go faster than that too, 30 km/h is not uncommon.
- cr1895 10y agoTrue. Often though these are serious road cyclicsts who do tend to wear helmets, or they're those new fast electric bikes that like to sneak up beside you going really quick.
- mtrimpe 10y agoIf you live in Amsterdam you'd be hard pressed to find more than one scooter a month that's going under 25km/h. Amsterdam is also pushing very hard to get an exception to be able to force them onto the street though.
- mrsuprawsm 10y agoHere in Rotterdam they've added signs to the entrances to _all_ the bike lanes in the centre mentioning that scooters/motorbikes should be in the street. ("Herinnering: <scooter icon> op rijbaan", example here: http://www.rotterdam.nl/Clusters/Stadsontwikkeling/Document%202016/Verkeer%20en%20Vervoer/Verkeersborden.pdf http://www.rotterdam.nl/Clusters/Stadsontwikkeling/Document%...) Although I think that it's illegal for them to ride in the bike lanes (or over 25km/h? or both?), they still do it
- spopejoy 10y agoIsn't that the "yellow plate/red plate" thing? I've heard that many get the governor installed, get the plate, remove the governor. I saw lots of scooters going too fast, passing folks in bike lanes in Amsterdam.
