The NCC portion of the Ottawa trail system has a 20kph limit; they also have pathway patrols to help all users remain courtesy toward each other and enforce the pathway rules.
Until there is a network of segregated bike lanes as a viable alternative for cyclists who can or want or need to travel faster I would be opposed to a speed limit on the trails and encourage more education among all users and trail features make sharing the trail safer (e.g. cyclists slow down when near pedestrians; pedestrians don't be so oblivious to other users; all users communicate more and be predictable).

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
