Bob’s question is regarding the rules for two-wheelers. He finds that some cyclists ride too fast. A few days ago, a cyclist passed him at high speed and asked him to step aside. He wonders if there is a maximum speed also for cyclists?
The answer is yes, but it depends where.
On the RAVeL, the autonomous network of slow lanes in Wallonia, it is a maximum of 30 km/h.
On the cycle paths, there is no general limit, as on the RAVeL.
If you drive on the road, you must respect the same speed as the vehicles: zone 30, 50, 70 km/h, etc.
On your scooter, there is a maximum of 25 km/h.
Are there any controls?
Not really. You will be penalized if you are caught red-handed and put other users at risk, for example if you behave in a problematic way.
If you are going faster than other cyclists or pedestrians, and want to warn them, then use your doorbell. It is mandatory on your bike.
As a cyclist, you are considered a driver in the eyes of the law and the highway code. You must therefore also respect a speed limit, and no telephone or alcohol on the handlebars.
