Limit seems to be 20 and assuming that is mph, it's around 32kmph. Slowing down the footage, it seems they ride in a speed around 22 to 26kmph? Doesn't seems that fast to me, i tend to ride around 17kmph and it seems to past the stationary car just a bit faster than i do, and feels similar when i do it with my ebike on 25kmph. The camera seems to be wide angle which often give the viewer the false sense of speed.

Also speed limit might not applicable to bicycle.

The speed limit does apply to cyclists, but that 20 mph sign was for a school zone and is only in effect when the lights are flashing, which they weren't.

I didn't see any other speed limit signs, so we have no way of knowing what the normal limit was (short of turning it into a game of Geoguessr), but ~~my educated guess is that it's probably 35 mph~~. Edit: another commenter named the street and I found a speed limit sign for the opposite direction on Google Street View. It's 25 mph.
