Organisers of a cycle race in Wales have been forced to change and shorten its route because of the introduction of the 20mph speed limit in parts of the country.

Three of the five stages of the Junior Tour of Wales, which starts on Friday, have been changed because support vehicles would not have been able to keep up with the riders without breaking the limit.

Get a reasonably fit person on a high powered electric bicycle!

I think they're limited even further than Canada's at 250w for ebikes instead of 500w in Canada or 750w in the USA.

Though it would be cool to see an ebike caring a couple spare bikes and tires etc.
