You said that there were eight individual bikers at different intervals along Buena Vista in the right lane.
Since bicyclists are each legally entitled to a three-foot clearance, perhaps driving in the left lane would have been easier for you, rather than swerving in and out to remain in the right lane.

Many times, in heavier 'traffic' - as it was in that morning, we prefer to stay in the right lane to go around traffic circles in that outer lane...safer we have found.
So for those that noted the 'swerve' word I used in the first Post = please...
It was simpler to use that word than 'pass over to the left lane then back to the right'... And how are we supposed to know there may be another biker further up BV again once we're in the right lane again. We were doing the speed limit, and a few of the bikes were going quite slow.
We respect the law, but just sayin'... it can appear to be turtle/hare on the roads at times; really need to be constantly alert.
