Where I'm living, bicyclist's are expect to abide by the rules of the road. I often see bicyclist's receiving tickets from the police for running stop lights, turning from the wrong lane, etc. ALL bicycles are required to have lights, front and rear and I have seen police checkpoints, where they test the lights and give tickets for infractions. They even give tickets for drinking and riding, as well as using a cell phone while riding.
When I ride my bike, it's not much different than driving my car...
