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.

Fair enough. I wasn't thinking about the major, multi-lane roads (BV, Morse, 466x). Since there are two lanes available, vehicles should not be impeded by bicyclists on those roads anyway. I'm surprised that the lanes on those roads are narrower than 14' but I'm not likely to go measure them.
