Description

A new law setting a 6km/h speed limit for cyclists, skaters, scooter and e-scooter riders on pavements in Slovakia has received parliamentary approval.  

The new measure aimed at improving safety means pavement users who exceed the limit could be fined up to 100 euros.

Just how problematic are cyclists who cycle on pavements? Should we do the same?  

Joining Ciara to discuss this is Columnist with the Irish Independent and daily cyclist, Liam Collins.
