The part of the country that I live in is sparsely populated both by citizens and Police. The Police cruise through here every Tuesday morning just behind the mail truck and they are no nonsense no tolerance types (RCMP). Other than Tuesdays everyone just drives at whatever speed in comfortable for them. For some that is 50 MPH and for the more adventurous it is closer to a 100 MPH. I cruise at 80-85 MPH most days. Speed limit on the Trans Canada highway here is 70 MPG. Been driving 40+ years and I've never had a ticket.

I know where you are coming from on this question because I have delt with a young man several times on a bike in an residental area were the speed limit is posted as 10mph. There is a hill coming down to the resident area where he lives and not being able to clock him on radar but being able to make an estimate of his speed at 30mph., 20 over the limit on a bike! D.M.V. defines a bike as a vehicle, so it falls under the motor vehicle law. No I have not charged him for speeding because if he crashes at that speed, it will be a self correcting mistake! I have warned him though. By the way, officers do not half to clock you on radar to cite for speeding!

You can, but it has to be you going faster than the flow of traffic. There is no way for you to know how fast your going without traffic around you, and if you get a ticket, you can argue that in court.
I have recieved 6 speeding tickets on my bicycle for going 20+ over. Only 2 of them had surrounding traffic and one of those I was being passed by the cars on the road (won on a base of discrimination against bicyclists). Out of the six, I was only considered guilty on 1, but was just asked to slow down for my safety and court costs.

Never heard of speeding on a bicycle, maybe if a police officer is bored he might get you on that, but other than that never heard of that one.
I have heard of bicylcle must stop at red lights stop signs and other regulations of cars on the streets, so maybe with that said then maybe then they can get tickets for that.

As a cop told my little brother, if you RUN over the speed limit, you will get a ticket. I knew a fellow who built a 27 speed bicycle and was going downhill on a freeway (SL = 65mph). He was ticketed for 75 in a 65 zone. I saw the ticket.

If you can do that, you could get a ticket.
I doubt you can, excluding school zones.

Yep.
Cyclists are subject to the same laws as motorists.
