Do bicyclists automatically have the right of way? Chris Kreeger explains that they do not, because cyclists carry the same rights and responsibilities as cars, trucks and motorcycles. That means obeying traffic laws, stopping at stop signs and yielding to oncoming vehicles close enough to cause damage or injury.
Bicyclists Follow the Same Right of Way Rules as Other Vehicles
No, they do not. Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as other vehicles on the roadway, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. They have to obey all laws, stop at stop signs and yield to oncoming vehicles that are close enough to cause some sort of damage or injury. So in short, the answer is no.
