An 'equal' right, sure. And in the eyes of many motorists that makes us 'uppity troublemakers who need to be taught a lesson'.
It doesn't go both ways. Not even close.
I think the answer to that depends on where you are. But for the most part yes, I'd say I'm correct. As indicated by the responses to the many "do you stop for stop signs" or "do you stop for red lights" threads that pop up here. There's certainly a large contingent of cyclists that think that because they're driving something other than a car that the rules don't apply to them. Hell, even I'm guilty of some of those behaviors.
Combine that with the A+ personalities of a large portion of cyclists I'd still say yes.
