Cyclists Defend Gangs of 'Youths' Blocking Traffic With Their Bikes

I don't have the context here, but I'm trusting Right Angle News has the story correct. Apparently, the new thing for teens to do is ride their bikes en masse down the center of the street, blocking traffic. I guess it's West Palm Beach's fault for not putting in enough bicycle lanes so these cherubs could ride single file in a dedicated lane.

It looks like a lot of cycling enthusiasts are watching this video and supporting the kids and their right to take up the road.

"When I'm not engineering safe and healthy streets, I'm running my mouth about it," says Andy Boenau.

Maybe he should "educate" them.

The post continues:

… understands that these kids are doing this precisely because it blocks traffic, because it’s a power move, because they’re daring you to say or do something about it.

Exactly.

For a few minutes …

The professional-hobbyist cyclists who are defending this sort of thing give themselves away … like vegans or people who do CrossFit, they tell you before you even ask that they're cyclists. I've never been stuck behind a gang like this, but I've had plenty of times when I've had to slow way down for bikers in their helmets and spandex for quite a while until my chance to pass came up. 

Maybe it's just my imagination, but I always think that they think they're going the same speed as the cars behind them. No, you're slow.

Some people are criticizing the original poster for making this a racial thing with "white communities." All right, let's say it's happening in black communities or Latino communities. I don't have the context … I don't know if this is near a school with a 35 MPH speed limit, but they're not going 35 MPH on those bikes.

This is practically no different than the "Just Stop Oil" morons sitting in the middle of the road. It's a power move, and they're daring you to do anything about it.
