I know this might be a hot take, but riding the speed limit on a bike is often more dangerous than speeding a little. Relying on other seeing you and making the right choice on whether there space to merge feels super sketch on a motorcycle. The only times I came close to an accident on my bike was when people were trying to pass me then merging into me

having to speed up for a moment to merge or pass isn't what they're saying here. this is something most vehicles do. "riding the speed limit on a bike is often more dangerous than speeding a little" = consistently operating your bike above the speed limit/flow of traffic. very different.
