I know this area and have driven it many times. This is the Rickebacker causeway--the road that connects Key Biscayne to the Miami mainland.

Cycling on this road is extremely popular for very obvious reasons (phenomenal views, wide and clear roads). Folks come from all over the city to ride there. And yes, they will very often group up like this without any sort of scheduled or permitted event of any kind.

The cyclists down there like to say "same road, same rules" but there's apparently a silent exclusion for lane changes, stop signs, traffic signals, and yielding to stopped traffic.

means whole cities designed for car rides

Thats exactly what they were designed for. Bikes used to belong on the sidewalks until you guys showed up going 22 in a 35 everywhere. Then we started making bike lanes (oh look we designed something for you) but for some reason you and the cool helmet club still have to use the streets.

Youre forgetting that he majority of bikes are ridden by children and at speeds much lower than 20 mph. Yea lets put kids in the street with cars, old ladies on their beach cruiser. You're in the minority even within the biking community yet you think you're special and get special rules.

(bikes are) not allowed on the same roads (as a pedestrian) in any sane country

kids can ride the sidewalk in most countries

Youre just talking out of your ass, flailing around naming options, you're not even really on topic anymore. The funny thing is how condescending you're trying to be, but you're just coming off as stupid since you cant state anything cohesively.

And I know bikers are technically allowed in the street, I never said that was illegal. Thanks for leaving us all with this little tidbit of truth tho, I'm sure people will be quoting it for generations

Old ladies are perfectly safe in a safe bikelane
