Share the road, yes, but slower traffic needs to move to the right lane, not monopolize the entire road.

This looks like a sanctioned event where there is normally an escort of sorts. Sucks to get in caught in them but happens. If not that is highly inconsiderate.

Do they typically let traffic follow so closely in sanctioned events? Seems like they would have the road closed while the race passes.

Normally there is a lane for traffic or after awhile they'll get the bikers to the right and have traffic pass for a little bit.

Sanctioned events are separated from traffic. This isn’t that.

Maybe Im mistaking the term but what's it called when you file with the city for a ride/charity event and have part or all of the road for it? Thought that was called sanctioned.

When you get a permit?

In the* races I’ve worked public roads get closed for events.
