Not really, if you follow the law you simply have to wait to cross the double yellow line until there's no oncoming traffic. If the cyclist is obeying the law they're riding as far to the right as is practical given the conditions, it's not hard to get around unless the road surface is very poor or gravel washout pushes a bike to the left.
In heavy traffic this certainly could cause a backup of cars, but such is life. Nobody has any more right to the road than anyone else.
