Amsterdam is one of six European cities that will soon test a system that can remotely limit the speed of electric bicycles. Amsterdam’s traffic alderman, Melanie van der Horst, tested the system herself last week, NRC reports.

Alrighty,

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

How stupid are these folks? We’ve got rules, when people don’t follow those rules, you fine them. Case closed.

No system to prevent a bike speeding, teach people to obey the law.

    I’m sorry but could you repeat that with measurements that aren’t straight out of the 14th century?

    Perhaps washing machines or football fields?

      That’s like a third of a washing machine with a washing machine on top of it traveling at 880 football fields an hour!
