Amsterdam city council has introduced an experimental speed limit of 20km/h for cyclists to see if riders can be persuaded to slow down.

Tourists, commuters and shoppers have all complained in recent years of feeling unsafe on the capital’s congested bike paths, but the only speed restriction is a 30 km/h limit for motor vehicles.

More fietsstraaten. This problem goes away if we get rid of the damn cars going through the city. Once we have enough space, then everyone can go the speed they like without issue. Like, I don't want to be an asshole to the people riding side-by-side with their friends having a chat, but I'm running late and you're in the way and the fietspad is very narrow in some places.
