Fatbike accidents fuel safety debate in the Netherlands

Original: fatbike

A series of fatbike-related accidents is dominating Dutch news. A cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a taxi in Boskoop, a fatbike ended up under a van with its rider hospitalised, and columnist Nico Dijkshoorn was hit by a fatbike rider who then insulted him. The reports are intensifying discussion about fatbike safety and regulation in the Netherlands.

Why now: Multiple recent accidents involving fatbikes, including one involving a well-known Dutch columnist, have put the bikes' safety in the spotlight.
