Nice attempt at sarcam but don't confuse the issue at hand with that annoying toddler and pensioner nonsense. If you are trying to make a case of legal versus courteous, then yes I agree they were not being courteous but as long as they are following all of the posted rules for the trail they have every right to ride in a paceline just as you have every right not to and to complain about it.

No it doesn't and nor do I care. I can only control my actions. I've ridden in pacelines on a MUP (the infamous SRT) with other BF posters and we always followed the limit, yielded to pedestrians, always gave advanced notice and always passed with a friendly "hey hows it going", or "good morning". What other clowns do on the trail is not my concern, I'm not the MUP police.
