Cycling and speed limits

[cliffords]

Going through a 20 mph just now I got overtaken by bicycle riders. On both sides actually so a reminder of my road position.
It was both ways on same route.
Do you think they are speeding, any chance of getting caught?

Before all the hate starts, I drive a car, ride a motorbike and cycle frequently.

It should be reiterated that the reasons speed limits mostly exist (including 20 zones) is because of CARS hitting people. The whole 20 campaign is because chances of survival of being hit at 20 vs 30 are vast.

Bikes obviously can hit people too, but rare and all of the research into and deaths in the roads are generally car related - “can they be done for speeding” is a touch silly if you think about why the limit exists in the first place - to save lives.

The 20 mph limit where this overtaking and undertaking by bicycles took place is outside a School. That's a touch silly as you put it from the bicycle riders .
