Sorry, poor typing.Â
No,
I meant Florida Statute XXIII Chapter 316.2065(6).

I hope not, though. Validating poor cycling behavior by
citing statutes does not translate well to group riding.
Motorists are not disseminating chapter 316.152
orÂ316.1052(6)Âas the drive. They simply see cyclists in
the
road.Â
It appears, but I a cannot be sure because all that was
written was "Florida
Statute Title XXIII Chapter 316.6052(6).", but you may
be stating that the cyclists were entitled to the road because
there was a bend in the road. The mindeset of "we are entitled
by law to use as much of the road because chapter xxx says we
can" is infuriating. I don't think the menatlity of quoting
statute is particularly beneficial when the simply issue is that
there is a car back. Move over! What is so difficult about the
concept? Then again, I may have incorrectly interpreted what you
didn't say.
Personally, I am tired of having beer cans thrown at me
while I ride. Witnessing the behavior on GCC group rides over
the past four years has certainly explained some of the anger
that has been expressed my way. Every ride, even the
non-aggressive rides, seem to have at least one rider who will
not move into the bike lane. Self policing our rides may seems
likely recourse, but for the most part it does not occur.
Validating that behavior by citing law gives me little hope
things will improve.

In my opinion, once "car back" had been called, the group needed to remain
tight to the right. This is seemingly not a shared opinion.
