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.

Much more charitable, I regularly have to do similar manuvers on my motorbike to get around slow cars.
Actually I’d question why anyone would be bothered at all, at least with the bicycles, some people are afraid the driver will accidently veer across 15 feet of grass and drive into the bicyclists, which like I get it fear doesn’t have to be rational, but that’s not a safety concern if its other cars he was driving around.
You regularly offroad at high speed on a motorbike obviously not built for it, honking repeatedly while blasting over several pedestrian crossings, swerving all over the place?
Glad I don’t live near you.
Also of course it’s a fuckin safety issue if it’s cars too. You know what happens if you swerve into the side of a car? Nothing good ! Let alone one driving in tight packed formation with dozens of other cars
Where I live this is reckless endangerment and isn’t a “points on your licence” type infraction, it’s immediate “no more licence” and your car confiscated. As it should be.
And yes, this isn’t where I live. There are reasons I would never move to Florida.
You don’t need a purpose-built vehicle to drive on some grass, though the mini’s open diff honestly surprised me he didn’t have difficulty when there was 1 wheel on the pavement and 1 wheel on grass. Clearly the suspension is soft enough/has enough travel the designers considered the possibility that the car might not be on good roads.
My bike isn’t a dirtbike, but has adv tires instead of streets because of how frequently I have to ride offroad or on gravel roads or w/e.
Its usually a quick beep to let the person I am passing know where I am, I got hit when I didn’t do that last year and someone in the righthand lane decided to take an exit on the left as I was passing.
Yes, at the speeds involved you get a small dent, maybe some scratched paint.
Who was in danger? The people 15 feet away from the car?
I would never move back, but there are some things I miss.
