it is possible to set a speed camera off on a bike 
me n my mate did it when we were younger
we use to go upto some woods where we had some huge trails built (jumps), and the woods were at the top of a very large hill which we use to push up and normally just freewheel back down..
one time in summer on a red hot day we took up some of those cheap single use portable BBQ's n a cool bag full of cold drinks between us n just ride trails all day
this 1 time when we got to the top of the hill as it was getting dark because we'd stayed longer than normal we just gunned it till we couldnt pedal anymore side by side pretty much n we went through a camera mid way and it flashed
bet that was a funny pic for the fuzz ! 2 lads covered in dirt, helmets on with spades strapped to our backs side by side

I've seen 73mph on a road bike. Don't care if people believe or not but if your on a decent bike on a decent hill it's do-able. I used to race (tour de France style ) when younger so can still be quick now. Was going down a hill in Windsor and my mate backed off at 37 and I kept going

I hit 67mph on my push iron when getting towed by a punto, quite daft looking back, one hand on the car door and other on the bike in a t-shirt and jeans. The feeling was mad and if anybody knows the sound of a freewheel in a hope hub then people will now how mad that would have sounded. Amazing as soon as I let go the wind just caught me and stopped me dead. I'm sure someone hit 120mph when towed by a 911 in mbuk

I once did 22mph down the road round the corner from me but then couldn't stop and ended up going head on into a telegraph post  Rattled my groin on the handlebar stem so lucky it missed my nads
