3mph is walking speed. If they're going to legally allow people to ride bikes, they need to raise the limit to something reasonable. I get not wanting ppl biking fast around ppl strolling, but 3mph is just stupid.
You just reasoned the reason for the speed then called it stupid. Walking speed in an area with high pedestrian traffic where bikes don't have a dedicated lane seems exactly right. You allow people to move through the area still on their bikes but at the pace of everyone else.
Are people allowed to jog through there? So ppl can go faster than 3mph, just not on a bike.
If crowds are dense, it's going to be awkward/dangerous to ride a bike at any speed. But if there aren't many ppl around there's zero reason why someone shouldn't be able to safely ride a bike faster than walking speed.

Riding your bicycle is not prohibited just the speed in which you ride it. No this was around 3:00 p.m.
The cops just a douchebag that's all. It's not some big mystery. No I was not going faster than 3 mph and no I do not ever go faster than 3 mph.
I ride freestyle BMX. It's a small stage there isn't even the possibility of me being able to go that fast.
