Great Vengeance and Furious Pedaling

This sounds like an urban myth, but it’s true;

Tony Adams was arrested, and now faces a £120 fine, for riding ‘furiously’, an offence under the 1847 Town Police Clauses Act, at 25 mph in Sidney Street, a 30 mph zone, in the middle of the night

    So does “furiously” in this case mean “very quickly indeed”, or “angrily”?

    Ludicrously it means ‘very quickly indeed’. I’m sure as he peddled home the latter definition figured highly, however.
