Speed limits are a limit on maximum speed, if you drive at an inappropriate speed in a situation that requires caution then that is wreckless/careless driving.
There are no speed limits for cyclists as it is not appropriate, instead you are simply labelled with responsibility towards other road users, crashing into peds as they cross between cars is wreckless cycling. A cyclist jumping out at you on an open road is one of the few situations I can think of where the cyclist cannot avoid being at fault.
Peds are road users and always have the right of way, end of.
