This one comes from the UK.
"One of the most important factors in maintaining a cycle-friendly environment is to control vehicle speeds. Derbyshire County Council were so concerned about the excesive speeds reached by cyclists riding uphill ... that they introduced these novel cycle lane speed humps. Initially, there was a concern that speeding cyclists might simply ride on the road to avoid the humps... the scheme has been effective in keeping the mean speed of cyclists below 20mph."

That looks jumpable.:)
I'm with Chris...now you have to get your speed up so you can clear those table tops!
Speed: I could stand to get a bit faster on the bike. Working on it.
Since the Brits drive on the left side of the road, aren't these speed bumps for those going downhill? That would make more sense.
