cyclists do not have speedometers and therefore cannot be held accountable for their speed to any reasonable standard.

This argument doesn't work.

Cars aren't fitted with blood alcohol meters, yet you can still get prosecuted for drink driving. It's up to the individual to be responsible for their actions, speeding would be covered in the same way.

But a non-working speedometer in a car is an MOT fail, suggesting its presence is an important part of a road-legal vehicle.

Depending on age /type of vehicle.

An old af car doesn't have a speedo requirement, for example, and can still be done for speeding.

What's that got to do with the drink driving analogy?
