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.

    How dare people be on the road for a scheduled event?! I need to forget where I’m going while scrolling on my phone on that road!

    Edit: I feel as though my obvious sarcasm was misinterpreted.

      Where are the cops? There should be at least two cop cars/bikes securing the front and the rear.

          …well… are they wrong?

          What does florida’s laws say about this if anyone knows please about their officially sanctiined events?

          I live in toronto and if you go to a public , officially sanctiined event if you do not see at least two officers there? Well then it probably isnt an officially sanctioned event. (and YES one officer in the front , another in the rear)

            Yeah lol they’re wrong, this is just a lot of cyclists using the roads they pay for and are fully entitled to, they don’t need specific state approval or a cop escort.

              …well…

              We do live in a shitty monotonous capitalistic society

              A sad truth about this shitty society is that for most events that involve you potentially clogging up publicly accessible areas you actually do need a piggies escort whether you like it or not. I have never been to an event where the hosts are getting paid that didnt involve at least one offiicer. MAybe laws are different in florida but Id doubt that THIS law in particularr is different down there.
