Florida Statute here.


5)(a) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall ride in the lane marked for bicycle use or, if no lane is marked for bicycle use, as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except under any of the following situations:
1. When overtaking and passing another bicycle or vehicle proceeding in the same direction.
2. When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
3. When reasonably necessary to avoid any condition or potential conflict, including, but not limited to, a fixed or moving object, parked or moving vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, animal, surface hazard, turn lane, or substandard-width lane, which makes it unsafe to continue along the right-hand curb or edge or within a bicycle lane. For the purposes of this subsection, a “substandard-width lane” is a lane that is too narrow for a bicycle and another vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane.

I love those guys. had a few run ins with the type over the years.

Ride like that but want you to respect them as other vehicles on the road. Want you to stay behind them, then they blow throught red lights.

I saw the height of irony once. A gaggle of those spandex wearing fags stuck on a narrow country road behind a tractor/hay-bailer.

I really enjoyed following that mess. The fags finally gave up and stopped. When I got behind the hay-bailer he pulled over at the next driveway and waved me by.

Now that was some major Farmer John trolling.

My gawd that road looks like a patched uneven hell.

Were you visiting Birmingham when you took that picture by chance?

Oh and screw those morons.  Did they move over once they saw you at least?

Maybe you need to explain a little more.

Considering they are riding on what appears to be a neighborhood street, and wearing helmets with the wind making it hard to hear, they may not hear you stalking them.

A tap on the horn usually gets them to one side, allowing you to pass safely.

Or, they are just being dicks.

Your lack of info is staggering and one sided.

When I worked at MS, I'd see this shit all the time. Rush hour drive home, big hill coming out of Redmond, major arterial, a big fucking pack of bicyclists doing 10 MPH up the fucking hill, traffic backed up for miles behind them...

I'm willing to "share the road" with people that want to go out and ride bicycles, but these assholes need to understand that it works both ways.  I'll give you plenty of space when I go around you, and if you're riding single file then I'm even fine following behind for a little to wait for a safe place to pass.  Used to have to deal with shit like this all the time in CA and it made my blood boil, thankfully not so much anymore in West Texas.

The road is due to be repaved in the coming months after a sewer upgrade.

No they didn't move over and they never ride single file and blow through red lights and stop signs.

Had one HIT ME the other day.  Rode right into my driver side front quarter.  He blew through a stop sign.  Put a big grease/sweat mark on my truck thats about it.  I said "What the helll bro?!!!!!" He said "But I signaled".  I was already in the middle of the intersection.  There are a few good ones, but for the most part they blow donkey balls.

But what they're doing in your picture is straight up asshole behavior. Fuck those guys.

So the bicycles riding in a manner that block the entire lane while forcing the motorized vehicles (which, BTW, the road was specifically designed for and that have registrations paid on for public road use) to be trapped behind them isn't a problem at all, huh?

OP needs to get the law changed.  Bicycles have the same rights as cars in most states.  I have less trouble with bicycles than motorcycles.

Cyclists should pretend they care about someone other than themselves, move over, and let the car by.
