Just take it on the road so those zero pedestrians you encounted are safe.

Pretty sure that says 202 km/h. Do they expect people to install a speedo or something?

Not to mention the slower you go, the more unsteady you are. There are a few hills/inclines on my ride to work. There is no way Iâd be able to get up at 10km. If they actually enforced the laws prior to this, this wouldnât have happened.

Can we send these to the committee or to your local member. Or to Berkman. I think these videos are a great practical demonstration of how poorly thought out these changes are.

It was a nice touch that pretty much as soon as hit 12km downhill a siren started in the background lol

15kmph!! You lunatic! Havenât you heard that ever k over is a killer! Thatâs exactly 5 little babies all in a row you mercilessly murdered with your chaotic and reckless riding!!
Amazed that you didnât kill 20 children chasing their balls out of the childcare centre onto the road in that 5-7cm it took you to go from the mind melting speed of 15kâs down to zero.
Obviously as much sarcasm as possible, but if only the âspeed kills no matter whatâ sycophantâs could be muzzled and removed from any and all discourse surrounding road, bike and mobility discussions than some logical regulations could be examined to actually fix things like the road toll or utilisation of e-mobility devices in increasing volumes.

How can someone be so incompetenteto propose 10 kph with a straight face? When non electric bikes will be going 25 or 30 kph easily? Oh well, they will never ever be able to enforce it anyway.

Just use your legs to pedal if you want to go faster. Or buy a motorbike

Can’t wait to see angry motorists telling ebike riders to get off the road and use the path. Clown world! We build these paths and then make it illegal to viably use them. Waste of money.
I reckon these politicians don’t even know what a shared path is, they think it’s a footpath in the city? Wouldn’t be surprised.
I agree that 10km/h limit is silly, and will create hazards on both roads and footpaths…. but I get the feeling you are either exaggerating your instability at lower speeds for the purposes of the video, or could benefit from more practice riding slower. Even under current laws there will be times when riding on a shared pathway and you need to be able to control your bike properly while moving at less 10km/h. Based on that video, you look like a hazard, and the point it sells the most is that bikes on shared infrastructure are a hazard to the pedestrians.
While I’m not exactly a cycling enthusiast, I do use one for transportation purposes fairly regularly (as opposed to leisure) and think the new laws appear to have been written by people with little to no understanding of cycling. 10km/h limit is not reasonable, but neither is passing a pedestrian at 25km/h on a 1.2m footpath (standard width). Maybe there needs to be some requirement similar to the minimum distance for cars passing cyclists on roads. Say, at speeds above 10km/h clearance should be min 1m then when speed is below 10km/h, the min distance could be 50cm. Obviously these numbers have just been plucked out of my arse, so I wouldn’t want to see any legislation without some proper consultation and testing with industry experts from both cycling and pedestrian safety backgrounds.

Tbh I think this law is only made to keep the boomers happy police ain’t gonna fine you for doing 20 on an empty path
It does give them the ability to fine hoons blazing down the busy side walk in Surfers when it’s full of kids tho

You know, a government with a combined IQ higher than 10kmh would have actually gone for a ride. But nooo Christofullyfascist has now made a mockery. Just like the fast zones on scooters, 25 kmh.
Luckily the only motor in my pushyeare my old legs. A d I can do 60 kmh on some stretches. Perfectly legal .

What if on the downhill you turn the e-bike electrics off, it is essentially just a heavy regular bike then, can you exceed the limit? Or does having tech on the bike mean it gets punished regardless. What about regular bikes with electronic map upgrades and other gadgets, do they become ebikes?

10km/hr = 6mins/km = a relatively SLOW 10km run for a very average athlete.
SO, basically itâs bullshit. The Qld Govt has just fucked the industry. It could have at least been 20km/hr.

I find this equally as hysterical as it is depressing.
It’s so easy to go way over this even with non-electric/pedal assist bicycles.
I’m consistently going over 10km/h riding a BMX bike around the city. Not exactly a commuter bicycle.
My partner used to ride his fixie to work, he can maintain the speed limit of 60km/h to the point where he can’t physically be an annoyance to cars, he’s going the same speed. Quite possibly faster. Yes he’s on the road but the point about speed potential stands.
I get some people are useless and chaotic disasters, but this limit makes absolutely no sense.
Guess we’re forcing cyclists onto public transport cause we can’t handle the drop to 50c fares we gotta bulk up those numbers, they is rookie numbers.
