The speed limit doesn’t matter per se. You’re just hanging out on the shoulder (or on the right of the rightmost lane). I regularly cycle along a 110 km/h road (60 mph) (and people speed too), and it’s ok if you ignore the noise (I just put on my ANC headphones as I know I’m safe on the shoulder). The only time you might actually mingle with traffic is when overtaking people in a right turn lane at a stoplight/intersection (but you don’t really have to).
I do agree that american built environment is insane and needs to be torn down and rebuilt completely from scratch, though.
