Question for everyone, if I, in the unlikely event, go over 20 mph on a bike lane using an nonelectric bike, can I get a ticket?

Kinda depend on where you are. In my country the cop rightfully doesn't care, as long as you don't cause problem.

I can't speak for the whole world but in Sweden if a bike goes over the speed limit you get a ticket. That's if the cops somehow notice or care.

at least once somewhere in the world in the past it was ruled no because you don't have a speedometer

More likely you will still get a ticket but be able to use the above excuse in court.
