As road deaths increase and cycle lanes overflow with e-bikes, the Netherlands is considering a cycling speed limit of 12mph (20km/h).

The government has started a two-week trial in Houten, near Utrecht, to gauge whether freedom-loving Dutch cyclists are willing to slow down – and whether they have any idea how fast they are going in the first place.

I saw a couple just the other day. It's not necessarily that they modify the bikes, it's more often the case that they order a Chinese bike or a scooter from some dropshipper. Un-capped bikes aren't hard to procure.
