A short video of a group of cyclists riding somewhere near Wilmslow

Are the cyclists doing things properly?

You will see a variety of views in the comments, including the opener from the West Midlands Road Policing twitter account

Nope nothing wrong with that IMO.

Causing no more of an obstruction as a tractor or learner driver low on confidence.

Probably riding 2 abreast to stop cars trying to overtake where they don't think it's safe.

Not entirely sure what they could, or should, or should not do differently.

Whats the reasoning behind this? Does it turn into a bloodbath or a street fight or something?

I simply wanted to share the footage along with a direct comment on it from Road Policing Officers

The original tweeter of the video will not be alone in his opinion that the cyclists were causing an obstruction that shouldn't really have been there

It is nice to see that being knocked on the head

Not being a twittereerer, tweeeeetereere, someone who uses twitter, i assumed the poster was the one under the video. None of the comments i could see were saying that or are there hidden or deleted ones?

Ignore that . Just seen the writing above the video. Its covered by an advert trying to get me to sign up etc

Looks pretty choppy to me. While they might technically be 2 wide, you could easily get 4 side by side in the space they seem to be taking up.
