One of the little known laws is the speed limit on bike paths. 10 mph max.

Gad... that's slooooowwwwww. NoVa bike paths have no such statutory limit. I don't bother with most of them if the weather is too nice, though, since the crowding would limit them to that speed anyway. Fortunately, it's still possible to get out in the country. Commuting is out of the question. Most of the roads are unsuitable for cycling.

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.
