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.
BREAKING - A disturbing new trend among “youths” is spreading, with hundreds swarming into White communities on bikes, blocking roads to create traffic jams and recording the license plates of frustrated drivers.

Got stuck in one of those bicycle swarms in Sarasota a couple of weeks ago.

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.
There is nothing deep going on here. These are just misbehaving teenagers. They have to be educated on boundaries, rule of law, etc.

Maybe the SUV driver should educate them?

Maybe he should "educate" them.
One of the things that’s both infuriating and disorienting about a lot of liberal urban discourse is the extent to which it’s merely a form of gaslighting, an extension of charity far beyond what is reasonable. For example, everybody knows what’s going on here. Everybody… https://t.co/yYB7qBrulr

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.
If you can't drive under the speed limit for a few minutes because kids are riding their bikes on the road where they're legally allowed to then the problem isn't the kids

For a few minutes …
Not sure what your local laws are but around here that’s called “misuse of a public highway”

Kids don't collect license plates info on their own. This is a combination of intimidation and data collection for potential future use.

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.
