I find it interesting why you'd use this phraseology. The fact is, you are expecting other road users to do just that whenever a group of cyclists are out and about in the circs I've described.
We are to expect them to fail to stop at Stop signs, we are to expect them to do their own thing regardless of anyone else on the road, we shouldn't expect them to be polite and to try to help..because 'they'd like to ride together'.
Do most people who cycle in those circs think the same way? If so it explains nicely why there's conflict on our roads, because I know plenty of folk who do not think like that and wouldn't expect to have to wait for 100+ cyclists to come out of a side turning and pedal up a hill. It simply wouldn't occur to them to do so...and neither would I.
