Well? We're waiting.

TBH I don't like arriving sweaty, so I'd be fine with 20 kph, but only if it's a general rule and not just me holding up traffic for no reason.
Most countries have a ~10% tolerance anyway so even legal e-bikes are probably going 27/28. And there's quite a lot of illegal ones.
And there's a differenc between young+fit people going 25+ km/h, and 70+ people going that fast. Even a relatively healthy old person has generally worse reflexes and eyesight than a young person, and lots of old people are quite unhealthy.
People like you have existed in NL for decades, it's clearly e-bikes that inspired this speed limit experiment.

City roads are for transportation, not exercise. And 20 km/h is a little on the slow side, but hardly "useless" for transportation.
You can have more than one speed limit. e.g. 20 for narrow lanes, 25 for wide lanes.
While I agree that a 20 km/h limit is too strict on a good bicycle path, no one should be doing 40 km/h on a path that's shared with people going 10-15 km/h. Where I live, most roadracers just drive on the road.
There really shouldn't be 30 km/h motorized vehicles on bicycle lanes. That's the speed limit for cars on many city roads, which are usually much wider.
Fair, roadracers and the like can certainly get fast enough to become a nuisance. The bike lane in the article looks fairly wide, though.
12 mph = 20 km/h or kph
A woman told the programme: “This is all about cyclists on motorised bicycles, so I should think you would do something about motorised cyclists. Make a rule for them and not for all cyclists.”

Half of the issue is that many motorised bicycles go faster than the 25 km/h they're allowed to, anyway, plus all the old people who don't have the reflexes, eyesight etc. anymore to safely control a 25 km/h vehicle on a bicycle path. It's very rare that people that go fast on regular bicycles are a serious issue.
Damn, that's a lot more than I thought!
