15mph might be slow to a racer or hobbyist who does regular long distance riding, but it's about typical for commuters and the very casual end of hobbyists. Maybe it's slow downhill. It's definitely not slow to pedestrians: a collision with a cyclist going 15 mph can be quite injurious.

- maxerickson 10y agoThis doesn't have anything to do with commuters, it's hikers vs mountain bikers in a recreational area. I wonder if enforcement tends to be more strict when a hiker happens to be present.
- cjensen 10y agoIn previous reports I've seen, they generally speed gun at a blind downhill corner. It's a good choice: the biker is speeding in a location which might have a hiker, so the guys getting the tickets are in fact the ones endangering others.
- loeg 10y agoA collision between a cyclist and a tree at 15 mph can be injurious. Cyclists try to miss obstacles, pedestrians included, for their own safety.
