I've had that happen too. Closest I've come to joining the Great Peleton in the Sky was when a polite but clueless motorist stopped dead in the middle of the road without a stop sign in her direction and tried to wave a bunch of us bike commuters through. Luckily none of us took the bait because an impatient driver behind her sped around and would have killed us had we gone through.
