I'd like to see some citations of the code sections which might be
applicable in this case. In my scan of what I believe is the VC for Missouri
(http://www.moga.mo.gov/STATUTES/STATUTES.HTM) I can find no mention of the
typical "bicyclist must ride single file except when passing" language.
Equally surprising, the Online version of Missouri Drivers Guide makes no
mention of this either (http://www.dor.mo.gov/mvdl/drivers/dlguide/)
So at this point, I can't verify that the cyclists were at fault in any
manner....at least in Missouri.
