Saturday, about 200 of those two wheeled azzholes in garish and colorful spandex, blocked most of Biscayne Blvd up around 163rd Street. Far from the first time either.
That is the main reason I dislike bike jockeys.



There are several groups that ride that area on weekend mornings. One of them is called the Don Pan group. There are often professional riders who join that group as it is in the top 5 fastest in the country. I met one of their regular riders this summer, and that guy was an animal. He can easily hold 25MPH over a 50 mile ride. On the Don Pan ride, his group averages 27-28. And they flat out do not care about motor vehicle traffic.

Groups are often a source of consternation in urban areas and more and more on the lightly traveled winding hilly back roads.
