Today with David McCullagh

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

So cyclists are vulnerable, but our pedestrians are even more vulnerable.

Today with David McCullagh

So we as cyclists need to respect those people, pedestrians, particularly elderly people pushing buggies, all of that kind of thing.

We need to be aware of everybody else around us, but also looking at that hierarchy again,

Today with David McCullagh

And that's where we need to think about where is our enforcement priority?

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

We have rules already.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

Let's enforce the ones we have and focus, as I said, on where we're going to minimize the risks.

Today with David McCullagh
Should EV cyclists have speed limits?

Correct.
