let's ride 6 guys wide and totally block the road when there is a designated bike lane... you know... for bikes only!
stop signs... pffffffttt.. you're kidding right
any use of hand signals to let vehicles know their intentions - oh hell no
reflective apparel at night... dude... that doesn't look cool!
another cyclist one that gets me is when you're sitting at a red light and buddy goes flying past in the bike lane at breakneck speed towards the intersection. the light turns green and someone turns right cutting off the cyclist. yea, the car was "in the wrong" but don't cyclists value their life? sure you technically had the "right of way", but now, if you're lucky, you only have a bunch of broken bones/concussion/etc and your bike is toast.

Ohhh. I can do this too, but for drivers. And for the record, you have never seen six cyclists riding side by each. Good hyperbole though.
Drivers run amber and red lights. Those lights must not be for them.
Speed limits? Not for drivers.
Stop signs? Those are only for cyclists. Drivers can roll right through those.
Using signals to indicate when a driver is going to turn? Not on my watch!
Turning the lights on your vehicle, both front and back? No need when the interior lights are on.
To say only cyclists break the road laws is egregious and hypocritical.
