This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

Yes, exactly.

imagine the rage against cars if there was a picture of cars doing a rolling blockade like this. People would be apoplectic

If its wrong for cars to do it, its wrong for anyone else to do it too. And if you don't think thats true, then you're a hypocrite (general you, not accosting you, Baguette)

    That's just regular car traffic. And nobody is upset about that.

    IN my many many decades I've never seen anything but police match speed and drive abreast to become a rolling barricade..and that was only to bring traffic to a halt due to an accident up a head.

    I used to do that during stop and go traffic, after I saw a couple semis doing it. If you can gauge the average speed of traffic and smooth out the irregularities, everyone gets there at the same time, but we all have a much more relaxed drive.

    Now I ride a motorcycle so I can simply go around/between traffic.
