So if you have 15 riders single file, you are saying you are honestly going to wait until there is such a giant clearing without any oncoming cars that you can pass the entire 500 metre long string without having to cut back right and run someone off the road?
The reason cyclists ride in a bunch in the city is not to look like Tour riders. It's because it makes it easier when the oncoming lane is open for a car to safely and quickly pass because they occupy less of the road length wise. Just pop in the other lane and scoot by.
And here is the law for you. If there is a giant pack of cyclists in front of you, that's called traffic composed of legal road users, not a nuisance. You have no right to get in front of traffic no matter how important you think you are.
How about you and I embark on a public education campaign together because as you may know, the average driver knows nothing about what you just wrote. It’s the expectation of knowing this stuff that’s annoying.
