Passed a bicycle

Oh, this is brilliant: Holier Than You: Cars speeding vs bikes running stopsigns calls out a comment on this article:

Today I passed a bicycle doing more than 35 mph down Alpine Road - speed limits apply to bikers too. Can the police please cite people who speed on bikes or break the traffic laws in other ways?

(Emphasis mine and Holier Than You's) A charitable reading could be that she was going the other way, but, no, she comes back into clarify that, in fact:

I was in my car - I and the biker deserve to be ticketed. I confess I was exceeding the speed limit and accelerated to about 45 mph to pass safely.

WTF? How does this woman's head not explode from the cognitive dissonance?
