An interesting position exists in Scotland in that the Land Access

define a bike as an aid to pedestrianism (or some equivalent

justification for cycling on the road footpaths.

As usual Scotland has more sensible laws. England actually treats
bicycles
like cars!

And so they should be. Except for children up to, say, 14.

I can run close to the speed to what I can cycle at. When running am I
treated as a car?

Are you sure about nearly running as fast as 26mph ?
The fastest runner in the world (Usain Bolt) reaches 27mph.
Most top (in the world) sprinters can only reach about 24mph.

"close to"

27mph for a very short period....

Yes, that's the nature of sprinting.....short distances.
