how so?Motorists.
I posted the links earlier in the thread. The law is very specific about when bicycles can be two abreast, and safety has nothing to do with it.
The law states that riders cannot ride multiple abreast unless passing or overtaking. It doesn't say anything about allowing for riding abreast for greater visibility.i see where you said, "Doesn't say anything about allowing cyclist to ride 2-3 abreast. "
is it specific or silent? does that mean it's legal or illegal? Or did i miss your link?
and i'm sure you are of the belief that the law is always clear on what is and isn't 'safe', right?
There are plenty of groups in tulsa who'd set you up for a ride if you'd like to actually experience what you're happy to legislate. It's like taking an anti to the range.

I do not need to go for a ride with these people. I'm not anti cyclists. I'm anti cyclists on busy streets. They should take their ride to the 40+ miles of bike trails in Tulsa or even to a nearby low traffic volume state highway.
You don't think that a motorist can be physically harmed in an accident with a cyclist or herd, gaggle, flock or whatever a group of cyclists are?
low traffic state highways are typically the *most* dangerous for bicyclists...that would literally be sending bicyclists to their death for your convenience...I do not need to go for a ride with these people.
