This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

Imagine the rage against cars if there was a picture of cars doing a rolling blockade like this.

That's just regular car traffic. And nobody is upset about that.

Taxi drivers do this when protesting

IN my many many decades I've never seen anything but police match speed and drive abreast to become a rolling barricade..and that was only to bring traffic to a halt due to an accident up a head.

This isn't a rolling barricade it's just a critical mass of cyclists. When there's enough car traffic to bring travel to a crawl we don't call it a rolling barricade we just call it throughput capacity.
