One definition of a gaggle is "an assortment of related things".

While you shouldn't be mowing down bicyclists while drunk, they are actually a pet peeve of mine. It seems they always pick the narrowist roads with the most hills and blind spots around corners to ride on at a snails pace. This forces the 400 car train that inevitably forms behind them to take their lives into their own hands as they try to quickly pass them in the other lane.

Depending on the year, RAGBRAI comes near here and it's pretty hectic. This year they end about 10 minutes from where I work.
