I should clarify, in Minneapolis, there are a lot of paved paths just for cyclists and rollerbladers which circle lakes, and also run through the cities. This is where the speed limit applies. However, the bike lanes on the side of a road have have the same speed limit as the cars.

On those round-the-lake paths, 10mph is probably appropriate. In NoVa, we have an old railway converted to a multi-use path, as well as multi-use paths paralleling some of the major roads. They're wide, straight, and more suitable to high speeds.
