Some groups of cyclists do a great disservice to the rest of us by block the lane riding two and three abreast when there is no safety reason or legal justification to do so....more than single file and impeding traffic is clearly against the law in my state. My cute little town attracts cyclists like flies on honey and many of the locals are annoyed at the constant parades of riders. They are a PITA. I literally stopped riding with two clubs because of their biligerent attitude that they own the road. On one club ride after a re-group point at the top of a climb, the club sat down on the pavement on a blind intersection. I said we need to get off the road and a couple of smart asses said the cars can go around. A local police officer talked to me about "these cyclists". They would not move over for me when he hit the lights and then the siren. He said they were 2 and 3 abreast on a country road that I know well and that there was nothing coming the other way. He could not understand them. Neither can I. I said to the COP that he should have pulled them all over and ticketed them. I see illegal group riding practices all the time and although I understand the rider's motivations because I done a lot of cycling and I am no angel, other drivers just get justifiably pissed off. I will wait and wait patiently behind riders two abreast up the hills on our little country lanes but when the road opens up and the club riders still insist on riding two and three abreast, this is just wrong. When I say little country lane, I mean that two cars cannot pass in many places. Having a lifted pickup and a lifted Land Cruiser, I often have to ride into the ditch with oncoming cars. Riding 2 and 3 abreast on such roads is not only inconsiderate and dangerous but against the law. When I do pass cyclists I often need to drive into the ditch and they still do not move over and yes I get it that the center of the road is smoother but when a car comes, it should be single file as far right as is safe.....not two or three abreast down the center of the lane whether I have waited 30 seconds or 30 minutes is irrelevant.
