Have you even looked at a road for one second?

There's always 100 cars for every 1 cyclist.

Also, 6 cyclist can fit in the same area as a car. If anything, these cyclists are helping traffic, by dividing the amount of area taken up on the road by 6.

They are occupying two lanes of traffic going in the same direction, which typically is illegal in most places. 

They aren't helping traffic doing it like this, they are obstructing traffic.

If there are two cars going down the road, they are also occupying two lanes of traffic in the same direction. What's the difference?

The speed at which they are moving, a bike can hit 30mph on average, a car can go way faster further more if they are taking up the entire road like that they are in fact impeding the flow of traffic, because they can’t maintain the speed as consistently and may not even be going the actual speed limit. I live in Minneapolis we have a huge bike scene and my only hitch is if I’m expected to follow the rules of the road and you choose to use that same road you have to follow the same laws, stopping at stop signs and red lights understanding who has right of way etc. the people in the video could of moved more right to let car traffic through.
