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.

    Roads don’t belong to cyclists either. They belong to everyone. Common courtesy says everyone needs to be considerate of others on public property.

    Also if each of these cyclists was in a car for a 3 mile long traffic blob and did this as a regularly scheduled event, it would get shut down by the authorities right quick for disrupting traffic and lots of people would be mad about it. I know this because “car enthusiasts” do exactly that kind of thing fairly frequently and that’s the response it gets.

        The overwhelming majority of road users have no issue letting people pass, and I don’t think the people who sit in the left-hand lane parallel with another vehicle or drive in the center of a 2 lane road for literally no reason are the ones talking about sharing the road.

        Cambodian traffic law literally requires you get over and reduce speed if somebody is trying to pass, presumably to decrease cases like OP.

      Tell that to the sports stadiums in my city.
