The city was significantly inconvenienced for a few hours but no one complained. Happens all the time with runs as well.
I've noticed a lot of 5-9 second comments here, I can tell you for a fact that is not the common hold up for a group that large to cross an intersection, and when they blow the next light.. and the next.. you get the idea here? Apply reality to it, and you might see why people with short fuses make rash decisions and end up ramming cyclists with their cars... not that there's any excuse for that in the slightest bit.
