Not sure I’d have appreciated the 25km/h speed limit in urban areas in the days when I cycled to work. My average was well above that. 

I may be wrong but I don't think speed limits apply for pushbikes in the UK as it is not a motorised vehicle. Other countries e.g. Germany are different.

Nope, can't get done for speeding on bike in uk, you can get done for cycling furiously or some other such archaic phrase/law

I used to do Triathlons before they were quite so well known. I did 28miles a day to and from work and got fairly fit. I must have been off my rocker.

I had many cycling fails as a yoof

The worst was coming home from school & cycling through the subway, at each end there was a 90 degree bend so I used to do a pretend speedway turn at each end by touching the rear brake .. all so good so far, on this particular day there were 2 coppers around the corner looking to collar anyone doing anything dodgy and I ran into one of them as he stepped out - his own bleeding fault as he should have made himself more visible, this argument didn’t seem to work and I got into a pile of shit at the station, at home & at school.

I took to getting free rides on the school coach as no one ever checked who was getting on or off 😬
