Cycle Speed Limits on a normal Cycle Path?
 

Are there any speed-limits for a standard cycle?

Thank you.

No standard ones but individual ones may be set by local by-laws (eg
in royal parks).

There are speed limits in the Royal Parks that apply to bicycles. Other
than that, and with the caveat that I'm not sure what a "normal Cycle
Path" is (a road?) my understanding is that there is no numeric limit.
I may be oversimplifying.

The Road Treaffic Act 1988 (as amended by the RTA 1991) describes
offences of "dangerous cycling" and of "Careless and inconsiderate
cycling." which may be relevant. The latter applies on bridleways too.

I don't know, but I would have thought that to be able to enforce any
limit would imply that cyclists would have to have speedos fitted.

At the end of the day though, it comes down to common sense. If you're
getting hassle for riding at 25mph on a path full of pedestrians you
won't get much sympathy :-)

Just you standard canal path or something.

Thank you.

And that principle applies to driving blood alcohol levels too?

That would depend on having handlebar mounted optics.

No but there is a limit of 8mph on Hampstead Heath and something else
in Richmond Park.

Mixing with pedestrians at 10mph is not personally recommended.

You just need a good bell :-)
