Seriously, high-speed group rides are problematic from an advocacy standpoint. We want to be treated like other vehicles, but if you behaved like this with any other vehicle they'd lock you up in a heartbeat. This sort of behavior also makes it hard to promote the notion that cyclists are legitimate transportational users of the roads.
That's exactly what I was going to say. Actually you probably worded it better than I would have, so I guess it is better than what I was going to say.
