Exactly.
My house is 2 miles into my neighborhood, all at least slightly downhill with a 25mph speed limit. I am never going under 25 and people are just itching to get past me. On the last big drop before my turn I'm going 35-45, depending on the bike, and cars are speeding up, faster than they would normally go, to try to get past me.
The worst part is they had 1.5 miles of WIDE one-way street to pass, but they almost always wait until the lanes merge back and we hit the hill. These are probably the same idiots who moved into the neighborhood and got the speed limit dropped from 35 (which it had been for 4 years without incident) to 25 to "protect their kids".
