it may not be fair, but the group has right of way due to their numbers, velocity, and 'take the road' mentality

That of course is simply not true. Your numbers and your own personal philosophy regarding your use of the road does not in any way give you right of way. Right of way is a legal term and if you're running a red light you simply do not have the right of way. Do you honestly believe that your group somehow acquires special rights due to it's size, or is it just a confusion of terminology?

I believe that if bicyclists approach road riding with a mentality of being 'at war with the cagers' and justify any and all of their own actions, they are ultimately making it worse for all of us. If we can't respect each other on the road, there's really no hope for improvement.
