You may want to check it isn't actually legal.
In Oz, basically cyclist can ride 2 side by side and a 3rd can legally
overtake them.

Of course, we don't have many bicycle lanes, although they do mark a lot
of parking space with a bicycle logo, but usually just means that the
lane marking was paid for out of government bicycle funding.


Same is true in Canada, believe it or not. 2 abreast is legal.
Found that out when I asked the PD about 2 place side by side bicycle.
However, blocking trafic with ANYTHING is illegal.
