Rhino, that's not what I said at all.

We, whether in cars or on m/c's are to show tolerance the bikes while the bicyclists ride all over the road, riding unsafely and blocking motorized vehicles?

Here are the rules of the road in FL.

I'm sure you can find the rules for your state. 

I was on the Blue Ridge Parkway pulling a 30 foot travel trailer when I got caught behind a line of bicycles climbing a hill.  I could not safely pass and I felt bad for the vehicles who were behind me so I pulled into the first overlook I could fit into so I would not impede traffic.

I did not have to legally do that.  I could have just putted along behind the bicyclists enjoying the scenery, but I know there are idiots on the road who might try some stupid maneuver and get someone killed so I did the sensible thing and got out of the situation.

Driving or riding with a level of frustration turns otherwise sensible people into idiots who take unnecessary risks.
