That's how people clog the damn sidewalk.
Bonus points if all of them have earphones and can't hear your bicycle bell.

Wider sidewalks would solve the clogging problem and allow runners to pass
Why are you bicycling on the sidewalk?
Cars kill bicyclists, pedestrians don't.
Let people connect with each other.
Which would not include all having earphones and no spatial awareness to step aside.
Wider sidewalks would solve the clogging problem and allow runners to pass
3-4 people going next to each other still successfully clogg wide paths.
Why are you bicycling on the sidewalk?
There are a lot of shared sidewalks where I live, more often than not to connect two (often newer) actual bicycle paths so cyclists don't have to constantly push their bike for short periods.
Bicyclists are a major issue for pedestrians (esp. Disabled) - speaking from a European perspective
It's also true the other way around, especially if 4 seniors manage to block the whole path which is wide enough for a car to go down, walking next to each other.
And of course they are also too deaf to hear my bell.
They're on their way to the spiral of death
Always a hit
In reality, they do most of their talking via pheromones, almost like a form of telepathy.
or like fart talks?
Sure, just like the Blazing Saddles scene.
I don't think anybody's gonna stop you from doing one output file IPC
And now, (reverb) MY PRECIOUS PROCESS, SPAWN THE DAEMONS!
Hiking groups of three or more are so annoying. There are zero trails in actual wilderness areas that aren't single file but these idiots try to maintain their conversation anyway by just simply yelling at each other while they're all facing in the same direction. Go away go away go away gooooooooo awaaaaaaaay.
You can have your conversation literally anywhere else but you come all the way out into nature to do it? It's utterly selfish. And I can hear what they're talking about because of the yelling. It's always about work, money, or something they want to buy. It's always dumb bullshit that doesn't matter. And they're not even enjoying the scenery because they have to focus on their feet so they don't trip while talking. Infuriating.
