I am a road bike /n/ master now, and I was riding in a 25MPH zone at 30-37MPH for a bit on my Trek 420 blaze it road bike. I went by a cop and he didn't care. Can I get pulled over and get a ticket if it is not a school zone?

Yes, you can depending on the state. Now will you? Probably not, unless its been flagged as a problem area where cyclists bomb down hills and cause safety issues.

depends on local laws
usually speed limit is for motor vehicle only
unadapted driving/rowdie statues could still apply

Yes, you can be. In practice US cops don't care about bikes except maybe in NYC.

Anywhere in Eurostan you would be surrounded by interpol pursuit helicopters within seconds.

Depends on local and state law but in most cases, you can be ticketed for speeding on a bicycle as it is considered a vehicle but it actually happening depends totally on your local law enforcement. My local law states I need to obey all posted traffic signs and signals and I follow like none, nobody cares. It's only going to be an issue if you get into a collision where reckless behavior could put you at fault, especially if you or anyone else is injured.

I also forgot to mention, I've never once gotten a ticket for speeding through school zones on my bikes, blasting through stop signs and red lights, and riding against a one way/wrong way, even blatantly in front of cops but I have gotten ticketed for riding on the sidewalk in downtown. If it's anything cops will fuck a bike over, it's riding on the sidewalk in downtown

It doesn't happen often but getting a speeding citation while cycling is a big roadie flex

Do 37 on a flat road with no wind and maybe I'll be impressed.

Cops have to catch you to ticket you, why would you stop? Make them chase you, you can get away easily.

it really depends more on the cop and how bored or pissed off he is. the only ticket I ever got was for no lights (it was still daylight) but it was really because I was on a bike at the convenience store where drug deals happen. the judge threw it out.
I've ran red lights in front of cops before and they did nothing, I imagine pulling us over is difficult since we can evade easily and no plates, plus they know a judge is likely to throw it out? this is in a big city, tho.
I had a buddy in college where there was a big police force and little crime get a speeding ticket at night with no traffic around. seems pretty obvious the cop was bored . buddy hung the ticket on his wall.

The other day I was breaking the speed limit on a 25mph parkway by a lot and a cager went by me with the passenger giving me the finger.

This is a parkway that sees dozens or hundreds of cyclists within any given hour.

Cager psychology is such that any speed is inadequate. All they care about is someone being in front of them. Doesn't matter if it's 20mph or 200mph.

The problem is intractable. The correct solution is to force everyone to walk everywhere and shoot anyone who can't or won't.

I jump all traffic lights that are safe to do so (no junctions), break the speed limits both in town and downhill, jump thru sidewalks when its safer etc etc. Always trying to avoid risks and make things easy and comfy for me and the rest of the people.

Never get any complaints except for a couple of what you burgers call "Karen" (yes we have them here in Yurop). Never a problem with the police.
