Some 17,500 fatbikes imported from China have been held by Dutch authorities over concerns about speed manipulation and safety risks.

    Fuck off mate. We have seperate lanes for bikes and cars. We’ve been hating on vehicles going too fast on the bike lane since their existance. Scooters, e-bikes and anything else that’s a danger to other cyclists.

      Both of you need to chill the fuck out: You can disagree and argue without the personal attacks.

      Both of you get a temporary ban. In the future when you are here you need to win your arguments without attacking the person.

      Firstly check your attitude, dick.

      Secondly I’m a cyclist. I was only pointing out the absurdity of complaining about road noise from a bike that is at most 50dB when road noise from cars hovers in the 90dB range yet no one ever complains about car noise.

      Thirdly, not every city has separated bike and car lanes. I personally have no issue with fast moving bikes in the same lane as me because I’m not a coward like you seem to be. I also know how to handle my bike properly and keep my head on a swivel which helps me avoid accidents.

        It’s not about you mate. Or your pathetic bravado. “Oh look at me, I don’t mind people making the bike lane less safe because I’m so brave! Road safety? That’s for whimps!”

        As if teenagers aren’t at risk here, or anyone else who travels by bike.

        And where comes the idea from that people don’t complain about loud trucks/cars? That’s some made up bs. Nor does it at all solve anything about the boosted issues of fatbikes/scooters. Which is more traffic accidents!
