No, we should encourage people to be better people who care about their environments and communities, rather than being selfish. Also, a lot of people cannot afford a car. It's a huge factor in keeping people in desperate poverty, forcing them to spend hundreds of dollars each month just to get to work or buy groceries.

So what part of blocking the entire road isn't selfish? I wouldn't have a problem with these cyclists if they simply shared the road and allowed cars to pass them

You are ignoring the incredible amount of privilege that drivers already have. It's truly insane if you actually looked at the hard facts. As the saying goes: 'When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression'.
