Peloton: the main field or bunch of riders.
Echelon: a staggered line of riders, each downwind of the rider ahead, allowing them to move considerably faster than a solo rider or small group of riders. In windy sections where there are crosswinds, a large peloton will form into echelons. The most beautiful sight when seen from the air.
Gruppetto: a group of riders who have fallen behind, typically in a mountain stage. Usually the group includes many sprinters and flat-specialists, but more importantly a “bus driver,“ that is, a rider with an excellent feel for pace that will bring the group home within the cut-off time.
Lined out: a group of riders in a long line one behind the other as the pace at the front causes them all to struggle.

Friends.

A: Cagers. So get out of your shiney deathcages and ride a bike.

in a race, the biggest group is the peloton, otherwise the word is group.

In road racing, the main group of riders is called the "peloton"

Motor-cyclists would be called a "gang"
Bi-cyclists would be called a "pack"
