30 mph speed limit for bikes?

^ Whilst initially investigating this I came across claims from several of people being nicked for "wanton and furious cycling".

Yeah, I once read in our local paper that a girl had been chased by a bull because of her red dress (I grew up out of London) but her boyfriend saved her by flapping his coat (which had a red lining) and got it to chase him, then did a bit of an amateur matador impression before hoying over a style to escape. Trouble is, bulls are colour-blind, so that's complete cod-shit. Then hating red thing is a myth from matadors and torreadors wearing red. Local papers make up shit all the time when there's no real news.

I just checked in PNLD and the only offences I can find with "cycling" in the title are:

1. Inconsiderate cycling
   
2. Careless cycling
   
3. Riding pedal cycle under the influence of drink or drugs
   
4. Dangerous / careless cyclist failing to give name / address
   
5. Dangerous / careless cyclist giving false name / address
   
6. Dangerous cycling
   
7. Drive / park / cycle in pedestrianised area - Local Traffic Order inside Greater London
   
8. Drive / park / cycle in pedestrianised area - Local Traffic Order outside Greater London
   
9. Excluded traffic on a special road - hand cart / barrow
   
10. Excluded traffic on a special road - pedal cycle
    
11. Dangerous cycling on a road - offence
    
12. Road traffic - NIP - offences requiring the service of a notice of intended prosecution
    
13. Careless driving - failure to give name and address
    
14. Cycling without due care / reasonable consideration
    
15. Cycling whilst under the influence of drink or drugs
    
16. Promoting / taking part in cycle racing on public ways
    
17. Road traffic - exemption from drunk in charge of carriage charge
    
18. Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 - Schedule 1 - evidence by certificate: applicable offences
    
19. Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 - Schedule 1 - proof of driver identity: applicable offences
    
20. PCSO - power to issue fixed penalty notice / graffiti / truancy / cycling / litter /dogs / PNDs
    
21. Cycle Racing on Highways Regulations 1960 - notice of bicycle race and applicable conditions
    
    
    

None of which is "cycling furiously".

Now I know there was a clean-up of old and spurious laws some years ago, so it may have been done away with then. There's still lots you can be done for though, which I was looking into the other day. We should maybe think about compiling a definitive list and publish it on the site...
