i understand the speed limits not applying to cycling and think it makes sense, but when you know your speed through external kit, should people follow the limit, or should the law apply? also curious how many bikes do or dont have speed readers now.

you cant know how fast you are going on a regular bike from the shop, no way to be accurate just guessing (unless you have cycled for years then you tend to get a feel). so its fair enough to not have a direct law against cycles speeding.

however, speed effects everyone, so to me if you have a way to read the speed you should be trying to keep it. the guy crossing the road isnt going to judge the bike doing 26-30 in a 20 zone, he isnt going to care "its legal", he is just going to care the bike was on him way faster than expected.

at a strecth if a bike comes with accurate speedos, gps or other wise. do you think it would be fair to enforce limits on the off chance it happens to come up?

personally i cant stand going above the limits when im cycling, the effort added to get above 20 compared to the time saved is nothing usually, the roads 20 for a reason, usually meaning you barely get far before lights or junctions... f accelerating to 20 plus too often, worst part of it.

as a side question. if you do cycle (and actually use the bike), does you bike have a speedo? im curious how many bikes activly used have them now
