Your entire argument is framed in the context of driving being a right and not a privilege. Cars do not own the road. Bicycles are vehicles and you have to treat them as such - it's the law. I'm not sure where you live but at least in the US many people take driving for granted since it's so easy to get a license, and so difficult to lose it (barring exceptionally negligent or irresponsible behavior). But there are rules of the road, and you do have to follow them if you want to partake in the benefits of driving.
