I am not 100% on which stretch of River road in Richmond they are on but I am guessing that it's between no6 road and Westminster hwy. I doubt the speed limit is over 60, there is no shoulder of any sort, just a ditch on one side and the Fraser river on the other.
It's maybe 8km between no7 road the Westminster hwy. There's also a major highway that runs parallel to River road so if someone is in a rush I don't know why they'd chose the winding narrow road. Google says it's a 11 minute drive right now and 26 on a bike, so a group ride should be under 20 to cover 8km.
If it was a tractor there's no choice but to wait unless the tractor chooses to pull into a driveway.
To me it seems like a tempest in a teapot, if one is a rush and on that road they've messed up. If you're there for the scenery (it's not that nice imo) getting stuck behind a group ride gives one a few more minutes to look at the river.
