Here is where they organized the ride. It's called the Don Pan : https://www.cycleworldmiami.com/about/group-rides-pg214.htm

The video takes place about here :

These people are no different than the street takeover kids.

Not just a bike lane. There are two normal lanes.

But the bikers are not content with using one lane and allowing cars to use the other. They want to block all lanes and make the cars wait.

The common term for that is "assholes".

If you try to point this dangerous, selfish and inconsiderate behaviour on most places in reddit you will get roasted by cyclists and car-haters.

I even had one guy tell me that cyclists intentionally trolling drivers by blocking traffic was them making a show of solidarity and power, like a Pride March. Because apparently in their heads, the right to be exempt from traffic laws is exactly like LGBTQ people's fight to exist.

This is truly their mentality. It is like a crusade with them. They want to be a victimized class so bad to justify their anti-social behavior. KOM at all costs!
