20MPH Speed Limit - Wales

You’re wrong I’m afraid mate. It’s good practice but there is no speed limit for cyclists.

The Highway Code sets out speed limits for specific vehicle types, which doesn’t include bicycles.
So you’re telling me that cyclists don’t have to follow the Highway Code?

I don’t think I am wrong mate as I did my cycling proficiency in 1983 & I distinctly remember cyclists are bound by the Highway Code ;)

Highway Code
Rule 124. You MUST NOT exceed the maximum speed limits for the road and for your vehicle (see the speed limits table). A speed limit of 30 mph (48 km/h) generally applies to all roads with street lights (excluding motorways) unless signs show otherwise.

Not sure why you think cyclists wouldn’t have to adhere to the Highway Code mate?

Is there any evidence that cyclists aren’t bound by the rules of the Highway Code?

Edit & what do you mean different vehicles have different speed limits? Not in a 30mph zone they don’t

That’s not what I said.

Jesus Christ this is like arguing with thick twats on Facebook about road tax.

But they can be prosecuted for “cycling furiously”

I’d love to see that one argued in court.

I’m not advocating for dangerous riding btw.

I’m a keen cyclist and a member of a cycling club - I’ve seen all these arguments before.

And it annoys me when Deliveroo twats jump red lights too.

I just love the charge of “cycling furiously”. It’s straight out of Victorian novel. “Clive, an unremarkable man of average statue, was wanton to cycling furiously through the streets of Oldham on his penny farthing”
