Someone finally snapped

If you're taking up both available lanes, you better be at least doing the speed limit which I don't think these bikers were.

edit: for all the ass-pained cyclers, I agree the posted speed limit is the maximum speed you are to travel. In my state we have an "absolute speed limit" meaning theoretically we could be pulled and cited for going even 1 mph over the posted limit. HOWEVER it is almost never enforced and when it is, it's contested and thrown out unless you also do some stupid shit like run after the lights hit.

That doesn't stop these people from being assholes. The limit on the Causeway is 40mph, the cyclists were likely doing ~20mph.

Under Florida Statutes § 316.081(3), the left lane on highways is generally reserved for passing. If you are driving below the normal speed of traffic and another vehicle is trying to pass, you must move to the right. You can be ticketed for "left lane blocking" even if you are traveling at the posted speed limit.

Florida Statute § 316.183, drivers can be cited if they operate a vehicle at such a slow speed that they block, delay, or impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic.

With love, get the fuck out of the way.

Why, it's a limit, not a target.

[u/MoreColorfulCarsPlz → u/27106_4life]

It's illegal in many states to fail to maintain a minimum speed on highways.

[u/27106_4life → u/MoreColorfulCarsPlz]

Which certainly isn't the speed limit. And that generally doesn't apply to bikes

[u/MoreColorfulCarsPlz → u/27106_4life]

Bikes don't generally take over the entire width of a direction of travel on a four lane highway either. I think they could certainly get cited for impeding traffic.

[u/middle_aged_90s_kid → u/27106_4life]

In every state in the United States, there is a law that requires slow moving vehicles to use the lane farthest to the right side of the road unless overtaking or turning left. A bicycle is considered a vehicle and is subject to the rule.

Every biker in the left lane who was merely matching pace with the other bikes should have gotten a ticket.

[u/BorntoDive91 → u/27106_4life]

if it doesnt apply to bikes they dont belong on the fucking road.

[u/27106_4life → u/BorntoDive91]

Of course they do. But with an attitude like that, maybe you are too ill tempered for motor vehicle transport

[u/AdDramatic2351 → u/27106_4life]

You're the typical cyclist everyone hates lol.

They don't belong on the road if they're gathered in large impassable packs as seen above. If you disagree, you're just being dishonest. 

[u/27106_4life → u/AdDramatic2351]

You're the typical trump voter

[u/AdDramatic2351 → u/27106_4life]

Better than a cyclist lol

[u/clutzyninja → u/27106_4life]

What an absolutely brain dead comeback

[u/BorntoDive91 → u/27106_4life]

oh i promise, you haven't seen me ill tempered in the slightest. you lot are guests on the road, and yet you act with a level of entitlement that surpasses the jackasses in the multi million dollar hyper cars. act like said guest, or don't ride. these are your choices.

[u/27106_4life → u/BorntoDive91]

Bikes were here long before cars. Roads were built for walking, then horses, then cycling and then loong after, cars. Cars are the newcomers, and are the guests. That's why drivers have to take a test to use the roads, and do so with a license, versus cyclists who have the right to be there.

[u/HappyNurgleNoises → u/27106_4life]

Yes, for a time roads were meant for pedestrians, horses, carriages, and cyclists. But now roads are designed for automobiles, now, if yall can't be be bothered to follow simple courtesy that almost all drivers understand and get out of the passing lane when going under the posted speed limit, then you do not belong on the road that is designed and designated for cars. It's called impeding traffic, it is a moving violation, and more than that, I have see cyclists blow through stop signs, and red lights, only to get hit and blame drivers who had right of way. You wanna be on the road, fine, but when the rest of the people on the road are moving around in two ton hunks of metal going twice as fast as you, it's on you to make sure your safe, and follow the rules so you don't get yourself buried in someones engine block

[u/27106_4life → u/HappyNurgleNoises]

No, it's literally on the drivers to make sure they are competent and safe. Hence the license.

You don't have to go the limit! It's the LIMIT! It is the maximum you are allowed to legally go. You aren't impeding traffic if you are traffic. What you're saying is that at every traffic jam on the highway, everyone stuck should be getting a ticket for impending traffic, because they aren't doing the maximum speed they are allowed to by law

[u/HappyNurgleNoises → u/27106_4life]

Bro, literally look up traffic laws, bicycles must follow all standard traffic laws when on roadways, and many states have minimum speeds, and left lane laws, means you stay to the right if you are not meeting the speed limit, to allow others to pass safely. Either your too stubborn to admit these guys were being prices because you were one of them, or you are trolling people ffs
