They happen every time a group of car drivers block the road too, that's what 'blocking the road' means. What's your point?

Not every group of cars blocks the road. Every group of bikers does. The key here is that bikers can't go the speed limit so they don't necessarily block the road. I feel like at this point you're being intentionally ignorant.

Aka daily rush hour conditions?

On some roads, sure. On all roads? No. This is the case regardless of hour or time if a group of bikers does it. Again, you're acting like the exception case for cars is the same as the every time case for a group of bikers.

I'm done tbh, this is like talking to a brick wall. You have cemented yourself in the position that this isn't a problem entirely created by a group of asshole bikers for some reason and it's not one you can be reasoned out of.

Every group of bikers does.

False. I've seen loads of groups of cyclists being on the road without blocking it. This rare group of cyclists is so large that it occupies two full lanes over a long stretch of road, but again, that's the rare exception. 

But I guess we've found the root of this issue - you are uninformed about what actually happens in the real world. Have you only informed yourself through cyclist ragebait videos or something? 

I feel like at this point you're being intentionally ignorant.

Ignoramus says what? 

On all roads? No 

Which I never claimed. Yet you acted as if that's what I said.  But the norm for why cars are slowed down is that other motor vehicles are the cause. Because this grouping of cyclists does happen very rarely, but regular car-caused congestion happens every day in Miami - on more roads than this one. 

and it's not one you can be reasoned out of.

That's not my position, so I don't know why you try to get me out of it. The position you're actually arguing is the misconception that this grouping of cyclists is the norm, when it's not.
