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.

    That’s way too many bikes to be just taking over a road like that. By blocking all traffic your going to bring out the crazies.

      How about the car driving like normal? It doesn’t matter if it’s 200 bicycles or 4 cars on the road causing the traffic jama

      It’s a race, what do you expect? 1km race with 1 bike at the time?

          We’re missing information here. If there’s a clearly marked sign at the entrance to the road, possibly with a redirection to an alternate route, there’s no problem with this.

            We aren’t missing info. It’s a big group of bikers that do this every week. Not a race. Not an organized event.

        That’s not how you organize a race. I helped with securing a bunch of races (including La Vuelta) and if you want to occupy the whole road you close it. You don’t just say “it was scheduled so the road is ours now”.

        I mean, that’s fine, but then the road should be straight up closed, not letting you get on and have to get stuck for half a mile.

        No sanctioned race would be through a public road without traffic control. This is not how a race is handled. Yall are too stupid to realize evertone in this video is a idiot.

      Yea, would be better, if everyone sat in their own car, obviously. Apart only from the pollution, space problem and traffic it would generate, less exercise for those dozends (hundred) of participants, noise it would produce and less conversation and bonding. Apart from those reasons, it would be better, because the handful of people in the cars wouldnt feel left out.
