Bah, lekker onbeschoft. Je vraagt het toch netjes?
A general problem or one mostly from lycra chaingangs? My parents always complain they wants everyone to move out of the way.
But here in Belfast cycling closeness is actually not the lycra cyclists, they stay on the road by themselves where I live, the recreational ones in parks are getting too close as paths aren't quite wide enough and they don't want to wait.

Het Laatste Nieuws quoted Bert Blocken, a civil engineer who specialises in sports aerodynamics among other things, as saying that the Lycra brigade should keep 20 metres clear of each other in their axis of travel.
There´s precisely fuck all chance of that happening. Yesterday I was out on the new F14 fietssnelweg (nice and wide) north of Antwerpen and cyclists were struggling even with the official 1.5m rule. A polite "afstand houden alstublieft" was met with expletives being spat out in my face. Will keep to shite rough concrete main roads or opt for long walks instead now that the sun is out.
From the comments: "In vlaanderen is dat misschien vloeken, maar het virus is atheïstisch." "In Flanders that [curbs on cycling] may well be blasphemy, but the virus is atheistic."
