Question for everyone, if I, in the unlikely event, go over 20 mph on a bike lane using an nonelectric bike, can I get a ticket?
I can't speak for the whole world but in Sweden if a bike goes over the speed limit you get a ticket. That's if the cops somehow notice or care.
Sacramento ticketing for speeds over 15mph:

at least once somewhere in the world in the past it was ruled no because you don't have a speedometer
More likely you will still get a ticket but be able to use the above excuse in court.
Kinda depend on where you are. In my country the cop rightfully doesn't care, as long as you don't cause problem.
In many places , yes you can be ticketed. Maybe even have your bike impounded like a car.
