When a group of motorcyclists get to a light, those that have green (and yellow) go through, those who hit it on red, stop and wait. Bicyclists seem to think they need to stay with the group rather than stop.
I do agree that they should be treated as a very long vehicle -- if you're going to pass them, you pass the entire group, not just a couple of bikes at a time. If you're going to turn right and they're going straight, you wait for all of them, not just some. But they have obligations and laws to follow. They are not one vehicle -- they are a group of individuals packed together. That means that the individuals should EACH obey the traffic laws, not just the leader.
