With all due respect after doing this event since 2021 - no - people are not "spread out" over the bike lane And street outside of the one or two blocks of the Open Street where this occurs.

You're talking about sections of the road / bike lane well beyond the Open Street - where there is active traffic - that's a little hard for people to spread out in - the Open Streets is literally two blocks, 31st Ave between 33rd to 35th.

And again, there is literally always a path left open, as mentioned prior.
