So drivers must change lanes to go around a bike, but bikers can pass cars in the same lane?
I don't get it. If you want to be treated like a vehicle, act like a vehicle? It confounds me to no end how cyclists want to be given a full lane (which I fully appreciate) but then can decide they don't need a full lane whenever they choose.

This sums up most "anti-bike" people perfectly.
If we're supposed to share the road with you then why should you be allowed to do things cars and motorcycles simply aren't allowed to do? "Because I can" seems to be the most common explanation.
