That’s way too many bikes to be just taking over a road like that. By blocking all traffic your going to bring out the crazies.
By roing anything that isn't driving and/or shooting you bring out the crazies in america apparently
Yeehaw!
Not all of us have nothing to do and nowhere to go
How about the car driving like normal? It doesn't matter if it's 200 bicycles or 4 cars on the road causing the traffic jama
It's a race, what do you expect? 1km race with 1 bike at the time?
What kind of race doesn't close the road it's using?
We're missing information here. If there's a clearly marked sign at the entrance to the road, possibly with a redirection to an alternate route, there's no problem with this.
We aren’t missing info. It’s a big group of bikers that do this every week. Not a race. Not an organized event.
That's not how you organize a race. I helped with securing a bunch of races (including La Vuelta) and if you want to occupy the whole road you close it. You don't just say "it was scheduled so the road is ours now".
I mean, that’s fine, but then the road should be straight up closed, not letting you get on and have to get stuck for half a mile.
I don't see any one with race numbers pinned to their jersey.
No sanctioned race would be through a public road without traffic control. This is not how a race is handled. Yall are too stupid to realize evertone in this video is a idiot.
Yea, would be better, if everyone sat in their own car, obviously. Apart only from the pollution, space problem and traffic it would generate, less exercise for those dozends (hundred) of participants, noise it would produce and less conversation and bonding. Apart from those reasons, it would be better, because the handful of people in the cars wouldnt feel left out.
