10 mph speed limit on bicycles on Golden Gate Bridge
If you come to SF and ride across the Golden Gate bridge, beware that there is a 10 mph speed limit being imposed on cyclists. That's right, 10 mph. And with all the tourists stopping every 100 feet to take a picture, I guess that'll take the average speed down to 5 mph

Does traffic move so fast that cyclists are prohibited from riding in the road over the bridge?

For starters you can't ride in the car lanes, since they don't provide a bail-out for bikes before the tunnel (north) or city (south).
So you share a MUP, essentially, with all kinds of pedestrians and cyclists, mostly looky-loos who are clueless about the mass of humanity around them. So 10 mph might actually be fast.  For the record I have neither walked nor biked across the GG Bridge. Spingineer might offer insights I don't have.

10 mph is not fast ... might as well watch snail crawl. For GGB, you should have no problem sustaining a 18-20 mph pace, so slowing to 10 mph is slow. Actually, I think the speed limit is 15 mph, but I hardly ever see anyone go at that pace.

Would perhaps be more fun to walk the bike over, and surreptitiously place chainring tatoos on every pedestrian who mindlessly stops in his/her tracks to gawk.
