Of course - anyone going over the speed limit on purpose should be issued a ticket. The speed limit is set by, among other things, the reaction time needed to navigate road hazards, such as other traffic entering the road and the timing of traffic lights.

We share the road with them, yes he should get a ticket. They should also get tickets for riding on the sidewalk and not following traffic signals.

It's hard for a bike rider to break a speed limit that's radar checked; and few bikes have speedometers and fewer of them are accurate. Also, a speeding bicyclist is not likely to hurt anyone but himself. What cyclists SHOULD be ticketed, or at least warned, for, is riding on the left side of the road (American and Europe; right in Britain). It means that motorists may have oncoming traffic on both sides of them, and if he is struck it will be at a much higher relative speed. Yes, it makes it easier if the cyclist can see traffic--but that's why they sell rear-view mirrors, both for bicycles and for bike helmets. Most accidents occur at intersections--not from drivers coming up from behind.
