Concur about the "It's all about me" attitude that many group riders seem to have.

I was enjoying a wonderful ride on Sunday, until a group cut me off. It was on Bates Road climb (secluded road near Carpenteria) when a group came flying by at about twice my speed. Lead gets just barely past me and then swerves to the right... the group followed, and I get nearly run off the road.

20 minutes later I'm on the flats doing my usual blistering 16 MPH when a guy blows past me, telling me "a group is coming; better get out of the way"

WTF? I'm supposed to stop and get off the road so some skinny tattoed kids can play Tour de France?

We admonish cars to "Share the Road" -- that sentiment should extend to other riders as well.
