They didn't say, "That car goes too fast for this road. You can't have it here." They said, "Go faster than the number on this sign, and there will be consequences."
Right, so we’ll have cops with radar (which won’t work well on a target like a carbon fibre bike) manning the trails. Of course, that’ll have to be paid for so some extra fees or taxes or licensing in addition to the regulations I foresee. This will be as much fun as commuting to work on a freeway!
