which is essentially just a jogging pace

It's slower than a slow jog.

The complication I also saw is that few people would have a speedometer on their bike so it would need some common sense and judgement

This exactly. But you don't need speed limits to do that. Just enforce the usual reckless driving/riding laws.

Police like speed limits because they're lazy as fuck and can just set up a trap without having to do any real work. They like it against cyclists especially because they're arseholes who hate cyclists. (As evidence for this, I submit the fact that they regularly do "bell blitzes" despite the fact that bells are a completely useless implement when you have a voice, as well as how they enforce these ridiculous speed limits. And the fact that they refuse to ever prosecute dangerous driving by drivers when reported by cyclists with video evidence.)
