Which is why it makes sense to me for the cyclists to stop as a group, and proceed as a group when it is safe. This way no one is inconvenienced and traffic flow is optimized. Now if the first third of the group stops and the rest just follow on, I think there will be some upset people.

But it is not productive if cyclists and non-cyclists continue to paint everyone with the same brush. The relatively few on each side who display disdain for their fellow travelers should not spoil it for the rest. Share the road.
