Because in the city, if bicycles ride single-file at 25 km/h, then cars can continue past them at 50 km/h. If they ride two-abreast so they can have a nice little conversation, then all of the traffic is limited to the speed at which the cyclists are traveling. This reduces the capacity and efficiency of the entire transportation network (area occupied by the network vs. people per hour traveling through it, regardless of transportation mode). Go ride on a trail for fun if you want to ride side by side.
