Riders that aren't as casual (eg skinny tire, commuter/racer bikes built for speed) should be able to realize they go faster and need to relax when they are in mixed company.
"Stay pretty close" to the 20 mark, exactly, which makes 25 even 30 pretty easy with a tail wind, or if someone is in a hurry, or downhill. So all of a sudden, casual riders are easily exceeding that limit substantially.
Quite frankly, I have had no close interactions with commuter or racing cyclists, usually it is with more casual cyclists, and usually they're not going overly fast, just overly close, sometimes misjudging space to pass. Either way, a speed limit wouldn't change that.
@MidTowner I definitely agree the trails do work generally quite well (save for several notorious crossings).
