If you want bikers to slow down then you need to do the same thing you do to cars. Traffic calming features. Because as a biker I’m going to go as fast as I’m able to safely in order to maintain my rhythm and not waste energy. Don’t give me a straight path 500 meters long and expect me to putter along at running pace. That makes little sense.

Yup, speed bumps would help a bit in this regard. Or barriers that force you to slow down, like seen from top to down (bird’s eye):

So the bike has to slow down, curve, then curve, then can speed up again. No camera’s needed. Handy for intersections.
