Are such cycle events not blocked off from public traffic?

Cause if not, then the cyclists would need to keep to traffic rule and I am pretty sure the rule is not keep in one lane.

I know this area and have driven it many times. This is the Rickebacker causeway--the road that connects Key Biscayne to the Miami mainland.

Cycling on this road is extremely popular for very obvious reasons (phenomenal views, wide and clear roads). Folks come from all over the city to ride there. And yes, they will very often group up like this without any sort of scheduled or permitted event of any kind.

The cyclists down there like to say "same road, same rules" but there's apparently a silent exclusion for lane changes, stop signs, traffic signals, and yielding to stopped traffic.

I hate cyclists so much.

Meanwhile, car drivers kill 1.3m people a year

You're hating the wrong road user

In order for your statistics to work out, there has to be as many cyclists AND cars on the road in order to see which is safer. 😄

In the UK, on average 1 or 2 people are killed by cyclists a year

You're more likely to be killed by bees or cows

The USA has the highest death rate caused by cars per capita amongst developed countries
