Just another perspective on speedometers....

I like that one. I think I will take my GPS on the next few rides to see what I am actually doing.

Occasionally the Marion County police put a radar board up so you can check your speed. I have not seen one lately so a GPS test is the next best thing.

This might be a solution for some who may not wish to go through the hassle/cost of installing a speedometer.

as others have also said, this an easy way to check your speed. I had a new motor installed a couple of years ago to improve my torque on hills, so I can maintain my 19mph uphill and believe me if someone is going 12 mph in front of me I will pass them. I don't see why, if I am going the legal limit, someone should be upset by that. Again, while for some reason, people like to 'rag' on cart drivers, during the same period, when the 13 citations were issued to carts 162 citations were issued to CARS

Those radar devices are usually pretty accurate except the one I drove past on Rolling Acres road about 6 weeks ago in my car doing 37 and it said 90.
