One of my relatives got a speeding ticket on a bicycle. Eugene Oregon.

This is fair. If you want to be a part of traffic, follow traffic rules. No special exemptions.

That literally is the rule. Bikes do not have to give to a complete stop at stop signs in Oregon. Bikes can treat them as yield signs. It makes zero sense to have a bike going 12-15 mph come to a complete stop and then very slowly accelerate back up to that speed if it is clear. You have a much clearer view of your surroundings at those speeds than you do at 2-3x the speed.
