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."
My point is that just about anybody that can turn pedals, can do that speed. No downhill or roadie legs needed. You think anyone will have radar gun on a bike path, singletrack or MUP?
