Umm, no, I don't think cyclists "own" the road. Best we can hope for, at least on this side of the border would be that drivers SHARE the road as almost all of them do.

I do get pretty angry when I have to sit behind self absorbed riders who refuse to move over when they know I'm behind them so I can try to pass safely; especially if I'm on my way to work or need to get to a place by a certain time ( people do go to work on the weekends).

I also wonder how many of those rare drivers who buzz me on the road or honk angrily have been inconvenienced at some point by people who think that cars should be content cruising along at 15 mph admiring their awesomeness from behind or just suck it up and watch them run through the intersection in front of me when my light's green.

The fact of the matter is, few inconsiderate cyclists can make life tougher and more dangerous for the rest of us, and it's those few that I remember, not the vast majority who ride single file, in the designated cycling lane or the shoulder, and stop at a red light at an intersection.
