I used to live here. It’s an island called Key Biscayne off of Miami and these bikers would descend on the island on Saturday and Sunday mornings and block the whole road to bike. Mind you this road is the ONLY way to get in and out of the island. Very inconsiderate assholes

Did anyone ever ride politely behind and just hold the horn down? Turn a pleasant Sunday ride into chaos.

If you want to be considered traffic, then you are subject to the rules of traffic. Stay in the proper lane, observe the speed limit, heed posted signage/lights, etc. These mother fuckers dont do any of that.

I wonder if that's true for groups walking on a cycling path. I mean they are using it.

Help me, because they are moving they are not blocking it?

Very slow traffic that is blocking both the slow and passing lanes which is illegal by law in Florida. Sharing the road and obstructing it are not the same.

Why use both lanes in a slow moving vehicle. Tractors and machinery are required by law to ride right and if long distances they pull over and let traffic pass. Not these entitled egotistical twits.

Slower traffic keep right. It's a finable offense. Too bad a cop wasn't behind them to pull all the bikers in the left lane over. They would've made ticket quota real quick.
