nowhere actually likes cyclists.

"I was doing 30mph and there was no way I could have stopped even if I'd
wanted to." What happened to riding within your capabilities ? (both
human and machine) If you can't stop in time you are going too fast .

What's going on there, for God's sake? Why do people do things like that?

Sounds like the abuse was nothing to do with his speed which is probably
what carried him away from it before anything worse could happen. It
seems the only interaction was him being spat and shouted at.

Where is the above alleged speed limit, do you have any idea?

I don't think he had a physics qualification :-)

No idea what the speed limit is - and it is not relevant.

I am commenting on the view that he may cycle at whatever speed he likes - with no thought for other
road users - and could not stop safely when required to : " no way I could have stopped"

It seems to be quite a common view of psycholists.

No - it seems like he was going too fast - and could not have stopped if he had wanted to.

Typical psycholist - no consideration for other road users.

How do you know he was a member of the aristocracy?

Do you mean the ones that were shouting abuse at him, swearing and
even spitting at him?
Do you think he showed them a lack of consideration by cycling past
them and not stopping?
