you get hit by one of these silent missiles, with an 80kg passenger on it, you spend weeks in hospital...you are older person, its life threatening...

Amsterdam bikes are terrifying :-))

These bikes are not going at 36 km/h, whatever device she is using to measure it is incorrectly calibrated or simply not made to measure people on bikes.

WTF how does she measure 36km/h on the leisurely cycling people? And how does she measure the 28km/h guy when being so far from the direction he's travelling?

It's probably a device meant for and tested to measure cars, not arbitrary objects. Probably needs to be used in a specific way too.

36 on people rolling by not even pedaling? Yeah that thing isn't correct.

That's not a bicycle, that's a motorbike.

"Cyclist" and "someone on an illegal e-bike" are not one and the same thing.

And you can see here "normal" bikes clocked at 36 Km:

No, those people freewheeling on a regular city bike on relatively flat ground are not doing 36 km/h. That's around 20 km/h by my somewhat well tuned eyeballs. Have you never been on a bike and measured your speed?

You're not going to be seeing cyclists going 36 km/h beyond significant downhills or sporty people on drop bar bikes putting in significant effort.
