My wife and I cycle 22/22x all the time single file ‘cause we’re out there to work.
Also, shove your banana peels back into your “kit” pouch instead of tossing them on the shoulder ya fricken slobs!

I think it’s because there is so little that is actually “for” them. Even bike lanes, they’re basically just “wheel” lanes. If you’re on wheels and you aren’t a car, a motorbike, or a wheelchair, you use the bike lane. In a lot of places it’s illegal to ride anything but a bike on the bike lane.
Whenever someone complains about someone else on a multi-use pathway, bike lane, or anything else really, I assume they’re actually the problem, because none of these things have well established rules and nobody is ever actually taught them. People crying about common courtesy based on some expectation that everyone should know and understand the subjective rules they think are most important… I don’t know, that’s a them issue.
Except for roads of course. Roads are pure. Roads have rules. Roads are where the civilized find themselves and the uncivilized are justifiable complained about. Multi-use pathways? Good luck, you’re on your own. Roads? Now we’re talking.
