Sounds like the bicyle crowd that hauls ass down and chugs 2 abreast up it.

I got to witness one of the greatest things a couple years back. brought warm and fuzzy feelings! Let me start off by saying I absolutely HATE the boulder bicyclists, or any of them for that matter that believe they own the road.
Was driving on Foothills hwy (7 or 36) between boulder and lyons heading up to estes.
4 bicyclists spread across the entire lane, plus their little bicycle lane. I think the speed limit is 55 or 60...they were doing 20-25. they created a line that was about 8 cars when I got to the back end, right behind a monster motor-home. the cars in front of the motor-home were able to get past, most flipping off or honking at them. they paid no attention of flipped the drivers off and continued to take up the whole lane.
Then the motor-home was next, couldn't get past because the oncoming traffic wasn't spaced good enough to get by. this went on for probably a good mile or two. the motor-home would lay on his horn for a while and the guy on the outside (middle of the road), would just flip him off and keep biking.
Finally the motor-home found the space, got next to the bicyclists and just started moving over...all the way into the bike lane and drove all 4 of the bicyclists off the side of the road where all but one wrecked!
I laughed soo hard it hurt! It was something I would have love to do but would never have the guts to do it for fear of killing someone of them denting my truck or something.
I pulled up next to the guy at the left turn toward lyons with my window rolled down and gave him a huge thumbs up!
Now that is FREAKING HILARIOUS, I would have paid big bucks to see that, damn I hate cyclists who think they own the road (and share the road license plates).
Just goes to show how a couple of people can FUBAR it for the rest of us.
BTW I have four registered vehicles and I bike. I'm guessing I pay more than enough road taxes.
There is a single file law in this state. Not sure why it's not enforced more.
