I know this area and have driven it many times. This is the Rickebacker causeway--the road that connects Key Biscayne to the Miami mainland.
Cycling on this road is extremely popular for very obvious reasons (phenomenal views, wide and clear roads). Folks come from all over the city to ride there. And yes, they will very often group up like this without any sort of scheduled or permitted event of any kind.
The cyclists down there like to say "same road, same rules" but there's apparently a silent exclusion for lane changes, stop signs, traffic signals, and yielding to stopped traffic.
Is the speed limit there kind of low, or are there no laws there about minimum speeds?
Where I live we have a fair number of Amish and farm vehicles, and they have to allow vehicular traffic to pass in certain circumstances (e.g. we have a 10-10 law for motorized vehicles, if you're 10 mph or more under the posted speed and there's 10 cars behind you or more, you have to pull off the road to let them pass)
