This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

All I am saying is we have clear evidence of the dude in the car being reckless. We have a lot more assumptions about the people biking. Like throughout the thread, not a you thing specifically

Whatever standards you prefer there to be or steps to be taken, a throng of 50+ bikers grouped together with at least 1 safety bike (maybe more upfront, my eyes aren't too good) demonstrates at least SOME level of organization and foresight.

100% agree. The dude in the car is a reckless idiot. The bikers are organized. All I'm saying (and I think I've been clear that's what I'm saying from the beginning) is that they are poorly organized. Personally I would not participate is such a poorly organized event and would never take responsibility for anything like that as an organizer. People are free to have different standards though.
