Maybe in your state, but not necessarily in all others. You have a bad habit of making blanket statements using words like "never" in your posts on this forum. You really should use more qualifiers so that your statements have a chance in hell of actually being true.

California's minimum speed law, for example, is generally understood to excludes cyclists. It says "unless the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation, because of grade, ....etc." and clearly a bicycle can only be operated safely at it's normal speed.
