I read over the weekend that the FDP Party wants to discuss a max bicycle speed of 10 kph (6.2 mph) for bicyclists in Germany.
It's an interesting topic.
Around two weeks ago in the village....awaiting my bus...I could hear a bicyclist racing down the hill at probably 60 kph (37 mph). He slowed just enough at the turn point, to make a right-hand turn....but probably was a good half-meter over into the oncoming lane.
You see a lot of this in the local area.
Some of this is bad judgement....some relates to the E-bike situation. Most E-bikes will get up to 20 mph now (32 kph).
Taking this to a political discussion? You'd have to force everyone to put a speedometer on their bike (something that 99-percent don't have currently).
Accepting this? I would imagine more than 75-percent of bicyclists would not accept the limit of 10 kph.
