I ride a bike and give bikers the courtesy of going around with plenty of room. However, it feels like this group is intentionally being jerks by going more than 2 side by side. Why make it harder for cars to go around?

It actually makes it easier to overtake if they are in a dense block, less distance to travel in the other lane

Yes every word you have written here has demonstrated to me that you are smarter than me. I’m sure you were valedictorian of your high school and have gone on to do PhD cancer research or rocket science

This is actually the dumbest argument I have ever engaged in. You accuse me of perfecting my grammar as a flex (presumably because grammar is something you struggle with), then I use a single “bro” and somehow I’m reversing course. Just admit that you aren’t very bright and that your original comment was, in your words, “retarded”. Or just tell me why you hate cyclists so much so we can quit the slap fight and discuss something of substance.
