    Already been done?

    Aussie MP suggests using Strava to track and take action against speeding cyclists. Would make KOM a bit less tempting…

    That wouldn’t stick, they couldn’t prove any sort of calibration.

    haha – it’s so accurate I managed to get approximately mach 1 uphill on a residential street on my MTB. gimme a ticket. that would be ace to defend in court.

    hope mapmyrun isn’t admissable evidence either. I have one there that is 320km/h on a gravel track. have posted that plot on here before.

    Why would an Australian MP have any say in UK speeding laws?

    Yup.
    As I wrote above, you can be done for speeding in a Royal Park. They’re not public roads.

    As a bicycle doesnt legally have to be fitted with a speedometer, i am not sure how you are meant to ensure you are not speeding. So find it hard to believe any such charge could possibly stand up ti scrutiny in court.
