Sounds like a regular weekend ride for me. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, the wilderness park (MUP) I ride at turns into a big yuppy, cycling hangout. The park is full of runners, rollerbladers, people walking and family's with children riding the path. Pace-lines there have no regard for other riders or anyone else. They have pushed me into skaters that I was passing because they didn't want to slow down and break their cadence. The worst is when they pace-line on the service roads where it's two way traffic. I'm not sure why these pace-liners feel that the road belongs to them and that everyone else has no right to the road when they are on it. It gets so bad at times that the runners and rollerbladers are pushing to have pace-lines banned from the park because they constantly push them off the road. Yes, I do pace-line riding once in a while with other riders in the park but when I do, it's later in the morning when the park thins out and there aren't many people on the path. It maybe my age difference, but common courtesy doesn't seem to exist anymore. At least not with these pace-liners.
