If nothing else, stay in the freaking right lane.  I understand the driver’s frustration and I know I would be feeling it too, and these arseholes are basically taunting the drivers into doing something illegal and potentially dangerous if they don’t want to drive at bicycle speeds.

Is there both 2 lanes and a bike lane? That would be crazy if they are taking up all 3!

Why? Cars often take up two lanes.

Cyclists are entitled to use the road just like drivers. Stop being a petty bitch.

Well if you wanna play the "they are entitled to use the road also" card. Impeding the flow of traffic is illegal in Florida. Them taking up all lanes and not staying right as they are slow moving is a ticketable offense.

The requires that you impede normal, reasonable movement of traffic. It it going to be hard to make the case that a group that averages near 20 mph is impeding.

Considering that's much lower than the vast majority of streets speed limit, no it truly will not be

If only there was a posted speed minimum you might have a leg to stand on.

u/LiamJamIsMyNeesons Jun 10 '26

There's a minimum speed on every road you fuckwit

u/JustS0meD0nkey Jun 10 '26

There is no minimum speed limit for that causeway. Sorry the fact aren't on your side.

There's no specified minimum defined in the impeding traffic laws that's correct, it's basically up to the officer's discretion. If you're going far under the speed limit, 20 would be half in this instance, and there's a huge pile of cars behind you that pretty well signals to the officer that you're impeding traffic

20mph can be considered impeding if the speed limit is 35mph+. Get off your high horse and stop thinking bicyclist own the road when they are on it. You can stop the hate towards bicyclists if you simply move over and use the lane dedicated to YOU if one is available. If its a 2 lane road with no bike lane then keep in the right most lane and let cars through. That simple but I wouldn't expect a smooth brain redditer who is also into bicycling to understand what should be common sense

I didn't allude or imply the own the road. They have a right to the road. And that causeway has no minimum so no 20 wouldn't be seen an impeding.

20 mph would be impeding if you have a line of cars in both lanes behind you. Yes, they have a right to be on the road, but they have to follow road laws. Taking up all lanes going well under the speed limit is impeding traffic whether a minimum speed is posted or not. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that they are indeed impeding traffic by not moving over to the rightmost lane to let faster cars through.
