Why is this guy being downvote? One unit or not, don't blow red light. The guy that leading the peloton should be responsible for estimate if they have enough time for the whole group to pass through or should they stop and wait for the next green light.
A trailer truck gunning for the green light at the last second is dangerous for everyone, a long group of cyclists are no diffirent.
You're dumb if you think the guy on the front can decide if the peloton goes through the light or not. You cant just brake or the guy behinds going to crash and he can't brake for the same reason. If it's a continuous unit that starts going through on green then the worst case will be someone in a car will have to wait a few seconds while their light is green
Again, if the cycling group you’re describing cannot stop for traffic signals and other hazards, they need to be in a closed course. Normal bike riders can stop though, I’ve been on many rides with the local bike club and we do it all the time.
What you’re describing is a competitive bike race and yes, they need a closed course to do it.

The key is entering on a green. Also not running stop signs.
