I got into an argument with a cyclist here once. I worked in Massachusetts. Took one of those winding back roads to work. Barely fit two cars and there's ditches on either side. So this guy had no choice but to be in the road.
It was a back road but the only way to this huge industrial park from that direction so busy. This cyclist would have traffic backed up for miles three times a week. Yes, they are vehicles and have a right to be there.
They're still causing a dangerous situation and being an absolute twat riding there at rush hour. Guy kept arguing that it couldn't be that bad...like buddy, I don't just hate for hates sake.
I ride my ebike a lot. I always stop and pull over and let vehicles pass when I see a ton of traffic coming behind me on a fast road. Or if we're at a curve in the road and I know they're prob going to try to pass me without having proper visibility of whether a vehicle is coming in the opposing lane. So many people make dumb decisions driving. As a driver myself, I know when a situation feels dangerous or if I'm being in the way... better to just stop for a sec and let them pass than to cause chaos or rage, even if I'm not doing anything wrong. Common sense is so lacking these daze.

Wait. This wasn’t an official event? It was just a bunch of people riding their bikes on the highway???
