Roads are made with a speed limit specifically matched for cars.

Bikes cannot achieve that speed limit.

So your thought is to slow down hundreds of thousands of cars which the road was made for... in order for cyclists not to be inconvenienced?

Roads are made for wheeled vehicles, many of which are cars and many of which are bikes. Demanding they stick to the side street ghetto seems suboptimal, considering car drivers are just as lethal with respect to motorcycle riders, are they not?


The only application of large-scale natural language processing in law enforcement of which I completely approve is classifying comments like these which totally misunderstand the concept of speed limit, identifying their authors, and inviting them to an all-expenses-paid driver retraining session where they might have the opportunity to regain their recently revoked driving privileges.



Your right! It's a speed LIMIT!

Feel free to hop on the interstate!

It's just a speed LIMIT of 70! There's no speed minimum.

Dont let those 18 wheelers push you around!

Let natural selection do its job!
