As I said, there are places I know that have used speed humps (not the
much sharper speed bumps) very effectively in residential neighborhoods.
They've cause no trouble at all on my bike, but they have greatly
slowed both the speed and the frequency of cut-through traffic, where
occasional radar enforcement had failed. The residents love them.
I love speed humps because I can take them full speed on a scooter just
by standing up, and enjoy the noise of the tailgating car/truck
suspension bottoming out. 
And the poor schmuck following the truck runs straight into it's load?
Schmuck is right.
