Nope! If one of those cyclists clips another, someone will need a band-aid. If one of those drivers makes a mistake, their multi-thousand pound vehicle is capable of making someone leave the scene in a body bag, or crash through the side of a building. Different classes of transportation have some common overlap, for example the importance of obedience to traffic signals, but standard extend to different degrees depending on class of vehicle.

Are you jealous at the mere concept that a cyclist can use a roadway comfortably? Those people riding in the dedicated bike lane in this illustration are not being buzzed by cars, not being honked at, they don't have to be passed by a wave of speeding cars and trucks - can confirm, cycling is comfortable under those conditions.

Perfect world a-la Truman Show? Hardly. But I don't recall a cyclist requiring the FD to cut them out of their vehicle while air-lifting multiple innocent victims to trauma centers.
