Not excusing the trash, but why are the bicyclists riding abreast taking up a whole lane?
Cuz they are ass-holes.
Because they can. In Iowa a bicycle is considered a motor vehicle on a public street. I'm not telling you it's safe, I'm just saying they can. Consider it a farm tractor which does basically the same thing. Bicycle riders have rights too. This is one of them. They are also required to follow all traffic rules as well like stop signs and traffic lights. Just like a tractor.

No, bicycles are not just like farm tractors. Farmers are courteous and responsible, they ride the shoulder if there is one. Tractors are big, tall, contrasting colors to the road, make noise, have lights and a large reflector. Bicyclists are tiny, wear spandex that blends into the road, hunch over so they’re even smaller, have one reflector smaller than a fist. They have no business being on secondary highways where farmers have to go for livelihood and to feed us.
