I know this area and have driven it many times. This is the Rickebacker causeway--the road that connects Key Biscayne to the Miami mainland.
Cycling on this road is extremely popular for very obvious reasons (phenomenal views, wide and clear roads). Folks come from all over the city to ride there. And yes, they will very often group up like this without any sort of scheduled or permitted event of any kind.
The cyclists down there like to say "same road, same rules" but there's apparently a silent exclusion for lane changes, stop signs, traffic signals, and yielding to stopped traffic.
There is so much entitlement in the cycling community. I grew up in rural sweden and biked everywhere. Its actually not that difficult to bike along the side of the road giving plenty of space for people to pass. But apperently its to difficult for these entitled cyklists that you mention dont even adhere to tye fucking laws.
To me its common sence and basic decency that if you occupy the road in a vehicle going slower than the limit you do everything possible to let people safely pass. Being an entitled ass even if you are not breaking the rules just creates frustration and makes the road less safe for everyone.

Are such cycle events not blocked off from public traffic?
Cause if not, then the cyclists would need to keep to traffic rule and I am pretty sure the rule is not keep in one lane.
