And I understand technically they do, it just pisses me off when you're on a two lane road, there's a line of cars stuck behind some jerk in spandex on his 10 speed. They want all the rights that cars have, then they proceed to run through stop signs and red lights like they don't exist.
They do have the same rights. It's not all that often that you'll get a line of traffic stuck behind a cyclist as most cars have no problem shooting right around one. I always make sure to move over as far as safely possible when being trailed, it's too dangerous to get too close to the edge of the road or the center-line. People just hate to have to slow down a bit and are too impatient. You'll spend less time behind a cyclist in a month than you will at a single stoplight in NoVA in most cases.
