Even as cyclists I share your frustration at some of the clubs that ride in packs of 20+ under the assumption that they own the road. Most of them are in average shape and even put up attitude when getting past by a fellow riding that isn't a member of their Tour Du France rolling playing - for what its worth. Still, what erks me, and other cyclist, is when people dilly-dallie in the middle of road without any regard for their surroundings - this includes not only walkers, talkers but recreational cyclist and rolling bladers moving in an "S" fashion.

They are mostly men, suffer from macho syndrome and like most weak men back away when you don't go for their bullying. On the weekends, I can run (and you can walk, etc.) on any part of the road surface you want.
