I was referring to the grey area in their behavior. Depending on the bike rider, I'd say where I live less than half of them actually follow the vehicle traffic laws. Other's lie somewhere between a vehicle and pedestrian in their behavior.

I don't have a problem with bikes riding in the suburb areas or country roads, or bike lanes, but when they are riding it in 4+ lane downtown traffic it gets pretty stupid and endangers everyone. If the solution is more bike lanes I'm fine with that, but currently it's not fun as a motorist, and I can't imagine it being much fun for someone on a bike either.
