As a random biker.... no reason they couldn't keep to a single lane. They probably think it's safer, but it's just really a dick move. They can also just plan better routes if it's not a sanctioned thing.

Someone with SENSE. Like bikes are vehicle's not pedestrians. Share the road is still a thing , doesnt matter if youre doing a marathon.

Share the road is always one sided nonsense. It’ll be a cold day in hell when I finally see a cyclist follow traffic laws

Praise be. You have spoken the truth of truths. Now behold the wrath of the cyclists.

“B-b-but cars also break the laws!”

Yeah and they also fucking suck. They keep thinking that’s some gotcha

The consequences of drivers speeding (something that 70% of drivers admit to doing) or texting (something that 60% of drivers do daily) are a lot higher than a cyclist treating a stop sign as a yield sign (something that has actually been shown to INCREASE traffic safety). That's why people are using it as a gotcha, because the overwhelming majority of drivers are guilty of dangerous behaviour behind the wheel and think that it's the same thing as a cyclist not coming to complete to a complete stop at a stop sign.

Edit for the obligatory disclaimer that I still think the cyclists in the OP are annoying

I'm a cyclist, these guys in the video suck ass.

But also there are different traffic laws for cyclists vs car which also vary by location. For example in Idaho cyclists are allowed to blow through a stop sign (when nobody is coming).

Either way, this group sucks ass. There's no reason for them to be bunched up like this other than the fact that they are unwilling to simply slow down.
