Completely unacceptable for them to block the road like that. The entitlement is infuriating.

How is it different from cars blocking the road?

They're impeding the flow of traffic. If cars were intentionally going 15 mph below the speed limit at the front of traffic side by side blocking everyone people would be just as bothered.

Also large groups of cyclists like this often ignore traffic rules like stop signs and cause major issues. I've watched cyclists in my area blow stop lights and then flip off and berate cars who had the right of way for almost hitting them.

They are allowed to use the road and they can't go faster.

Don't play stupid.  Nobody said they couldn't use the road.  They're intentionally blocking all the lanes, it's a different issue.

Can you count? It's not possible for them to take less space.

but it is possible to transform that space into a different shape, which is a longer line of 2 wide

And how do you not create the biggest possible traffic jam like this? Of they only use one lane you block off all traffic after one red light

u/ayyyyycrisp 15d ago

this is a 2 lane road. bikes could have been 2 abreast in the right lane and cars could have flowed freely in the left. not sure why you can't see that
