If bicycles are going to have speedometers then we can also enforce
minimum speed limits for bikes on roads.
Even if they wanted to, not without their also retrospectively imposing some kind of number plate. Nobody's going to bother with any form of enforcement other than automated cameras.

I think the Criminal Justice Bill 2023-24 did not complete its passage through the house, and so has fallen away. The two bills that they completed in time once the PM made his announcement were the one exonerating the PO/Horizon convictions, and the tainted blood compensation ones. Some rare and small sign of morality in pushing those two non-partisan bills through. The rest fell away and that included the act with the death by dangerous cycling in it.
However they did get some cross-party support to stick it into the bill as a late amendment, so maybe this will come back to bite us.

There aren't minimum speed limits on roads where bikes are allowed, so there's nothing to enforce.
