Haven't heard of it happening around here.  I wonder if the cyclist had a speedometer.

This guy needs to get a good lawyer. 

 

In court they will ask to see how the radar gun was calibrated and whether it is rated for bicycles or objects with such a small radar signature.  My guess is that it is not -nor was the officer trained in using it in such way.

 

31 in a 25 is barely 10% over and the error of using a machine that hasn't been calibrated and tuned to register bicycles accurately may have an error greater than that.

 

Fight it dude.  A bicycle is not a motor vehicle. It's just a human-powered frame on wheels. The next thing they will ticket is a runner going over 25MPH as that is doable with a really fast runner for bursts.

 

There seems to be a lot of anti-bicycle pushback in the non-riding population lately.  I wonder why that is?

Hostile...

That made my day.  The 2-sided party isn't hostile!  That's just for show.
