Cyclists car ride very closely together quite safely, as all kinds of mass rides show. That is true to some extent with experienced cyclists following much the same route (which is the situation for most mass rides). It is not true at all with a diverse variety of cyclist skill and experience while everyone is trying to get to different places. cyclists generally have much better spatial awareness than cars. Citation very much needed. As someone who has lived in and around a heavily cycling-friendly city for a very long time, I see little evidence to support this. Indeed, I can't remember the last time a motor vehicle randomly pulled out into the road right in front of me or swerved across my normal driving line without warning causing me to take avoiding action, while I'd measure instances of cyclists doing this sort of thing in units of infractions-per-week even infractions-per-day.
