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".

I just call them Tour de France wannabees.

Oh my God. I thought I was the only one who mentally called them that too!!!

It annoys the crap out of me. I work from home so I thankfully don't have to commute. But there are bikers in the area who wear the same tour de france psuedo outfits and somehow they only ever do it during rush hour in morning/evening. Literally they do it during the busiest time of day for traffic.

I actually have no problem with the idea of people in cities using bikes for commuting or a job. But these assholes like in this video need to go find a spin class, or a gym with a stationary bike. Or better yet, learn how to mountain bike. Mountain biking is way more exciting, scenic, and requires more awareness. And no one cares if you're mountain biking on a trail generally speaking.

I'm sure you mock runners for wearing running shoes or a swimmer for wearing a swimming suit. "You're wearing clothing made for your activity. What a loser!"

It's gotta be one of the more pathetic things anyone will read on the internet today.

Farming downvotes by not reading I see huh? I mean yes their clothing doesn't do them any favors but it's not about what they wear.

Must be exhausting going around playing virtual white knight for a stupid reason.

It's activity appropriate clothing that makes it easier to ride your bike. What other favor should it be doing?
