Motor vehicles have to have a speedometer that displays the speed to within 10% accuracy by law.That's why speed cameras are always set a bit higher than the posted limit. Although accuracy isn't tested at MOT it's part of the Construction and Use regs.There's no legal requirement for a speedo to be fitted to a cycle and therefore no indication to the rider of their speed. Hence speed limits cannot be enforced on cyclists. However you can be nicked for riding like a cunt in such a way as to endanger other road users or walkengers.
