the cameras never triggered. I dont know why tho

Maybe they're calibrated to only react to objects over a certain size (to avoid speeding tickets for birds) and that size is larger than you plus your bicycle? 🤷

Its a strip of road with no houses or visual obstructions or anything btw so i dont think i was a danger to anyone.

Agreed. Speed limit enforcement needs to be much more contextual. It would make it a lot more complicated and difficult for those on the enforcement side, sure, but it would save a lot of people from getting fines they can't afford for essentially doing nothing wrong.

Why would they avoid speeding tickets for birds? Seems like a missed revenue stream opportunity.

Because birds aren't real, duh!
