From the same article :

"It is, however, possible for local bylaws to impose speed limits on cyclists. For example, on Hampstead Heath in London there is an 8mph speed limit for cyclists, and in Richmond Park the speed limit of 20 miles per hour for vehicles also applies to cyclists."

As I mentioned above, cops will give you a ticket even if the law says otherwise. Few people know the law well enough to challenge the ticket (in many countries speed camera vehicles must be legally parked or the ticket is invalid - how many people know this? The tickets stand unless challenged and either revoked by the appropriate officer or challenged and revoked in court).

Few countries have so few laws that any one person can know all of them, even in a field they specialise in :(
