some motorists perception of cycling groups

Thoughts? Aside from the fact the total video is only 41 seconds long, the time to pass even less, and even the cyclists the furthest from the road edge moved within 2-3 seconds of the car approaching, yet this guy is annoyed? How much was he delayed? 5 seconds? 10 max? And then he videos while driving.

The entitlement is staggering.

But I do wonder about the cycling group. Is that the best they could do? Even on our rides I see lots of people riding 4-5 feet from the person next to them, who is 4-5 feet from the edge of the road. The youth team can, and does, easily ride two abreast inside a bike lane or half the goose. Maybe lets aim for that? And let bozos like this have less to get bent out of shape about.
