These signs make me laugh every time I see them. Amsterdam just has a boring "snorfietsen niet toegestaan", but other cities in the Netherlands (like here in Amstelveen) have "dus niet brommen."Translation: "bicycle path" / "so no mopeds".

@notjustbikes some context for the non-dutch:Up until some years ago, there was a type of cyclepath that mopeds were also required to use, but since then the law was changed to require mopeds to drive on inner-city roads with the cars.This rectangular sign is a bikes-exclusive cyclepath sign.

@notjustbikes also, although snorfiets and brommer both translate to moped, they are different beasts.A brommer should be speed-limited to 40km/h, while a snorfiets is limited to 25 km/h. And you don't need to wear a helmet riding a snorfiets.

@natalie_romana FWIW, you have to wear a helmet on a snorfiets in Amsterdam. The rules changed about 2 years ago.Also, good luck finding a snorfiets that is actually limited to 25 km/h. 😂

@notjustbikes I say should be because removing the limiters from brommers so they can travel much faster than that is a time-honored tradition amongst their owners, as are spot checks by the police with mobile dynamometers.
