Park police disturbs me

[ZenSojourner]

We don't know how often the police have complained to the bike group or not. Or other bike groups if there's multiple bike groups that are doing this...

I'm pretty sure the first time they stopped the peloton ought to have counted as a warning AND a complaint.

Also, a peloton is fairly anonymous - how would you "complain to the group" if you have no idea of what the group is? I'm wondering whether there have been complaints by non-cycling citizens, possibly newspaper articles . . . in any case, having been stopped once, this group apparently chose to ignore the warning and continue the objectionable behavior.

I like riding my bike on the kind of roads described here, and frankly a high-speed peloton overtaking me and passing me would scare the living daylights out of me, probably would force me off the road if I could get there without crashing . . .

I'm nervous when groups that large pass me on closed roads. Most of the riders in big groups that have passed me on rides have not been very considerate, honestly. I was on Tour for Woodside on a closed road and a huge group of riders knocked another cyclist who was going up hill more slowly then they were, into the bushes. I stopped to help, they kept racing. I'm not saying that this group is like that, but I have seen the absolute disdain that some elite cyclists have for anyone who is not of their caliber, that I could see how such a group could be considered a threat to public safety.
