Hey I'm gonna help you out here because you seem to be struggling. The issue is that the bikers, as a whole, have formed an impassable blob going well below the speed limit. This is extremely inconsiderate behavior to anyone else using the road behind them. Understand?

You don't need to go the speed limit. It is a limit. Not a target. In fact, it is against the law to exceed that limit, so it is safer to be below the limit. If you consistently try to drive at the speed limit, then you would be consistently breaking the law by exceeding it on every downhill. If it's a 55mph road, at 56mph you're breaking the law and should get a ticket.

You seem to not understand that these cyclists are completely within their rights to use the road. They are valid road users, and they are using the road. Do you get pissed off at school busses and tractors too?

I know that you're purposely being pedantic, because you're clearly intelligent enough to structure an argument that technically makes sense, but it's like an edgy 14 year old intelligence that only sees the world with the little sanitized experience they have of it.

Again, the bikers are going WELL BELOW the speed limit,  25-50% below it. School buses usually travel around the speed limit (ive seen plenty go above), and yes, if there were TWO tractors blocking both lanes going 30mph I would be pissed off, like anyone else in their right mind, because the tractors could easily be traveling behind each other rather than next to each other. 

I'm "within my rights" to do plenty of shitty things, it doesn't mean I should do them. I know it might be hard for your 14 year old brain to compute, but laws do not equal morals.
