I wonder what road this was on. Where in TV, and outside the squares, is there a roadway used by large groups of bicyclists that does not have a bicycle/MMP lane? No, there is no MMP or bicycle lane on my street but it is so short that a car would not have room to pass a group of eight bicyclists anyway.

As someone who rode MMPs for years before switching to the boulevards, I
assure you that the roads are actually safer than the MMPs. Plus, it's hard to get a 50-mile ride into just a few hours if on the MMPs.
Yes, we **** off some nasty motorists when on the roads, but we also **** off the cart riders on the MMPS. No matter where we ride, we annoy motorists. Would you like us to do 5000 trips around our driveways so we don't delay you by 30 seconds? I could probably get it done in 10-12 hours, but it would be dangerous to circle so slowly in such a tight space.
