If a bicycle cop caught us speeding, our defense would be pretty simple: how can you say we were speeding when you caught us on a bicycle? We’re guessing that didn’t fly back in Great Britain in 1896, when the nation’s first speeding ticket was issued to one Walter Arnold by a bobby on a bike, and cars were considerably slower than they are today.
