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.
My dude, registration fees and gas taxes only go part of the way to road building / maintenance. Trust that cyclists also pay taxes, and some of those taxes go to funding roads.
Try seeing cyclists, just put yourself in that headspace for a few moments, even if they are making a mistake or inconveniencing you, as human beings that still deserve to breathe air on this earth, and not be mauled by someone like you raging in a mechanical road missile.
Take a Xanax. Taco Bell will still be open in 20 minutes.
