Unfortunately the cycle lanes in Amsterdam are also used by scooters which often illegally go much faster than bikes and emit more carbon monoxide than cars.

There's a bizarre exception for two-stroke engines in our emission regulations. I don't understand why. Electric scooters and e-bikes are a perfectly valid alternative, if clean 2-stroke engines aren't possible.

They will likely be pushed off the lanes within a couple years.
