A happy Van Raam cyclistIt is becoming increasingly crowded on the bicycle paths. More and more people have an e-bike and accidents often happen because people cycle too fast. Therefore, the Dutch government wants to reduce the speed on bicycle paths in the Netherlands by installing speed cameras. Before the end of the year, the speed cameras will be placed on the cycle paths and there will be different cycling zones with a maximum speed of 10, 15 or 25 km/h. Do you have a (Van Raam) bike? Then you will soon have to watch out that you do not cycle too fast for the speed cameras and receive a fine.
