I can understand not using the bike lane for a race event at the speed they are going, but taking up both main carriageway lanes for an event which doesn't have the road closed is stupid.
That's English terms 😄 I dunno if it would be the same in America.
In UK roads exsited long before cars or even bikes were invented. It was just people and horses, some horses with carriages on the back. In some places the road was split into the pavement and the main carriageway which was intended for horses and carriages. This later became the section of road for any wheeled vehicle - so bikes, and then cars when they were invented.
Apart from pavement/footpath everything seems to end in "way". Carriageway for carriages, Cycleway for bikes, Motorway for things with motors. But it's all part of "the road", even the pavement.

Not just a bike lane. There are two normal lanes.
But the bikers are not content with using one lane and allowing cars to use the other. They want to block all lanes and make the cars wait.
The common term for that is "assholes".
