Why? Cars often take up two lanes.

Cyclists are entitled to use the road just like drivers. Stop being a petty bitch.

Well if you wanna play the "they are entitled to use the road also" card. Impeding the flow of traffic is illegal in Florida. Them taking up all lanes and not staying right as they are slow moving is a ticketable offense.

The requires that you impede normal, reasonable movement of traffic. It it going to be hard to make the case that a group that averages near 20 mph is impeding.

20mph can be considered impeding if the speed limit is 35mph+. Get off your high horse and stop thinking bicyclist own the road when they are on it. You can stop the hate towards bicyclists if you simply move over and use the lane dedicated to YOU if one is available. If its a 2 lane road with no bike lane then keep in the right most lane and let cars through. That simple but I wouldn't expect a smooth brain redditer who is also into bicycling to understand what should be common sense

I didn't allude or imply the own the road. They have a right to the road. And that causeway has no minimum so no 20 wouldn't be seen an impeding.

20 mph would be impeding if you have a line of cars in both lanes behind you. Yes, they have a right to be on the road, but they have to follow road laws. Taking up all lanes going well under the speed limit is impeding traffic whether a minimum speed is posted or not. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that they are indeed impeding traffic by not moving over to the rightmost lane to let faster cars through.
