Amsterdam recorded 3,950 road casualties in 2025, an 8% increase from the previous year, according to the municipality’s Road Safety Monitor based on ambulance data. More than half involved cyclists: 1,546 people were riding non-electric bicycles, 504 regular e-bikes and 243 fatbikes. The number of e-bike and fatbike casualties rose from about 500 in 2024 to 747 in 2025. Alderman Muskops attributed the rise in part to the growing number and use of e-bikes.

The monitor found no increase in crashes on roads where the speed limit was reduced to 30 km/h; incidents instead occurred on 50 km/h and access roads. The municipality said it has taken measures at previously dangerous locations, including raised crossings and zebra crossings. It introduced a fatbike ban in Vondelpark last year and expects an evaluation and possible next steps in November, including more information on possible national measures.
