Motorists don't want cyclists to obey traffic rules though, and I know you don't obey all traffic rules, if a bike is a vehicle we should "take the lane" at all times, but cars don't want that, but they want me to stop at stop signs.
Hmmm, seems motorists only want me to "behave like a vehicle" only when it's an inconvenience to me and, they want me to "not behave like a vehicle" when it is advantageous to them. If I'm expected to stop at every stop sign, which I do not have to do in Oregon Or Idaho, then I should always "take the lane" as well, shouldn't I? You and I both know that is not what motorists want...
