It is unlawful to ride a bicycle over 65 miles per hour.

The Law

Connecticut law dictates that bicyclists are bound by the same maximum speed limits as motor vehicles, which is generally 65 mph on highways. While it seems physically impossible for a casual cyclist to reach these speeds on a flat surface, the law ensures that high-tech racing bikes going downhill aren't blowing past cars in traffic. Good luck to the cyclist trying to actually break this law.
