This ^ ^. They are riding on public roads with other road users and need to obey road signs (eg keep left), recognise their place in the vulnerability hierarchy and the likelihood that others may not be as situation-aware as any cyclist riding at 20+mph is. The 20mph limit sorts out the cars: care for all others. And if you're on someone else's wheel at 25+mph you can say as much as you like: 'I was looking ahead' but your primary focus is on the wheel one metre ahead, not the pedestrian (with or without dog) who might cross the road 30+m ahead.Those guys are not racing
On normal roads you might be on the lookout for potholes but on a loop like Regent's Park the surface is good and any complications will be well known once you ridden round there half a dozen times (so you may well not "look").
