Nightmare.
One of our popular parishes (counties) for cycling required a parade permit for groups over five (if I recall correctly it was a very low number). Basically, organized events were approved, with proper road closures, cops, etc, but the weekend warrior bike clubs got shut out. Mostly because the cyclists were A-holz as I bear witness the few times I tried to attend.
Might have saved your neighbors some turf, your nerves, and...ahem...laundering shorts (or just tossing them in the bin).
