This was a Critical Mass event, which is why the bicyclists are taking up all of the street as a way to reclaim the streets and protest the lack of safety for riders under usual conditions. It’s not legal, but protests are never useful if they’re fully legal now, are they.
I’m all for bike activism and fuck cars. But what they’re doing is illegal and the driver likely had no idea what’s happening. If they weren’t riding the wrong way, then everything would have been perfectly legal (at least here in Germany). As long as the cyclists form a mass, they’re considered one long vehicle and can even pass red lights that way, as long as the first person did so with a green light. But riding on the wrong side of the road and expecting everyone to know what is going on is kind of a dick move and just brings more hate on cyclists.
Running people over is also illegal. A defensive driver would stop and wait for the road obstruction to clear, or take a wide-berth, safe alternative path around it.

No idea what’s happening? Who doesn’t know what critical mass is? Even if you didn’t, if you’re so cousin-fucking stupid you can’t look at this situation and see that this is obviously an event you shouldn’t drive into, then you should be locked in a rubber room and not be allowed near sharp objects, let alone be allowed to drive a car. You’re too stupid too be allowed in public.
