Off topic i know but... @Charlotte Alice Button ...this 'big' group of cyclists riding two or three abreast is a much shorter 'obstacle' than a 'big' group of cyclists in single file.
Hold on a dang minute. Car drivers clog up the roads when it's busy and regularly bring town centres to a stand still, but no one is suggesting that their presence is irresponsible.
Cyclists are entitled to be on the road, cyclists can't move as fast as motorised traffic, that's the way it is, period (as the colonials would say). Motor vehicle drivers need to simply get over that fact.

Yes. The reason cyclists don't pay road tax / VED / registration fees is because they don't have to.My usual reply is 'Because no-ones asked me to. Write to your MP and suggest it!'
As soon as anyone knows I am a regular cyclist, they start having a go.
I got the "why don't cyclists pay road tax?" line yesterday after a family funeral.
I retorted with the "It's called Vehicle Excise Duty now".
On a sad day, the discussion made me even more sad.
I'm a card carrying salad dodger!
