Well, I came up to a family cycling on a similar road recently, and they moved aside for all of 5 seconds to let me past so I could continue my journey at my pace for the mile or so of that road that was left. If they had refused to move aside, they would have been blocking the road no question, and they would have been fuckwits.

When there are as many cyclists as in that photo above, and they're trying to make their time as good as possible, it's a different matter, although it would still be nice if they moved aside as soon as it was practical.

Cars are faster than bicycles. Some people really need to get over that.
