Like the Doral ride I often go out weekend morning along A1A and there are multiple groups of 50+ or even 100+ that form either form starting or picking up riders. Almost everyone in these groups are great. The group sticks to the law as much as possible. Groups stop at lights and if they get broken they will slow down to rejoin in a mile or so. We are only allowed 2 riders side by side and often this makes cars think we are in their way and every so ofter a car tries to speed past but has to slam their brakes before they hit oncomming traffic. The cops usually get these guys as they are out all along during the morning hours to protect the cyclists (usually ride by 6-8 in 40-50 mile rides). The groups go almost the speed limit anyways so they really have to be speeding to get past. I don't get why these people are suprised they can't go 50+mph in a 30mph zone with tons of beach access crossings where they need to yield to pedestrians and get so frustrated at 8am on a weekend. They need to chill out or enjoy their tickets.
