Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

So from what I understand it, a speed limit for all bike users.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

But I guess from my point of view, it's what do we define by a bike or a cyclist in terms of we have analogue cyclists, shall I say, without batteries who are using their own power by porridge or their own muscles to get them around.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

And then there are some e-assist bikes which have a cap attached

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

The assistance stops at 25 kilometers an hour, and they're the legal bikes, e-bikes that are available for sale.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

However, there is increasingly more not legal bikes that are essentially almost like little motorbikes.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

And they look like a bike, but the cycle people aren't really paddling them.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

So it's important to differentiate between those different types of bicycle-shaped objects, as a friend calls them.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

From my understanding of what I've read, yes, which is a comfortable speed of cycling as a means of transport.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

So I rarely go higher than that when I'm cycling around the city.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

So that is, as a means of transport, that's a pretty acceptable way to get around.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

Definitely not.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

That's when you need the ESS to save it.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

Yeah, I guess from my point of view, I think when we're looking at our traffic policing, we need to focus on where the big risks are.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

And if you're looking at how people are dying and being seriously injured on our roads, we need to focus our attention on minimising those risks.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

which is our larger motorized vehicles, speeding in motorized vehicles that are going much higher than that, trucks, all of that kind of thing.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

That's where our enforcement focus should be, because that is where those people can be killed and seriously injured.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

And I think sometimes having a conversation, it is important that we are all staying safe, but we need to prioritize our enforcement focus.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

Well, I guess I was cycling in North Dublin last week and there was a cycling group and they were all, there was about eight people one by one.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

So it's harder to overtake that where if they're in a group, it is easier to overtake.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

But to be honest, I hung back and it was fine.
