They aren't, they are subject to the same speed limits as cars.

As there is no legal requirement for bicycles to have speedometers cyclists
cannot be charged with speeding.

Wrong. There was a loony cyclist in Cambridge who got done. And quite
right too - it's about expectations.

He was done for "riding furiously", not for exceeding the speed limit,
because not only does the speed limit not apply to cyclists, he wasn't
exceeding it: http://www.camcycle.org.uk/newslette...article14.html
