So if you're moving along at 25 mph and at most taking up a half lane, you're well within the law. 3 abreast and 15, that's another matter entirely. Single file doesn't work, because a paceline is constantly rotating, ouside line moving back, inner moving up.

And its not a mob, its the Jamis/Sutter team, a highly respected group of professional riders from the US pro circuit. Not that some other "mob" (group) hadn't caused some problem in the past for which they paid the price.

I agree that a normal someone wouldn't ram a group. Someone a bit over the edge, who maybe was late for something and had a bit of an anxiety disorder just might.

What the F? Even if he had a reason its okay to discharge a lethal weapon at them because he's pissed?
You might check your local laws on that. In WI and evidently CN you can ride two abreast within reason. To quote Paul earlier:

Riding 2 abreast – Riding 2 abreast is permitted as long as doing so does not
impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic
. Riding more than 2 abreast
is prohibited except on paths or roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles.
