From a cage perspective

Bicycles also have a speed limit of 40k's. A cop tried to ticket me one day after I did about 60 between ped's crossing at queen & Victoria, split the opposing (but stopped at the lights) traffic and then hopped on and off the fottpath a few times. He was out to get me tho for being a smartass infront of him heaps. He asked for my name after explaining he saw all that and was gonna throw the book at me, I said "hell no!" and rode off. Not long after that cycle couriers with numbers on their bags sprouted up around AK! Wasn't just me tho, there were plenty far crazier! What an awesome job, ahh! back in the old days *drifts off to memory land

What???
That is not in the NZ Road Code for cyclists. Where has this come from?

Seems the entire Tour de France would therefore be speeding as the average speed for the event is above 40kph! (25mph).

I never looked it up, the cop seemed to think he was gonna give me a ticket for it tho. TDF is on closed roads and I'm not sure they are too worried about the NZ road rules anyway!
