Actually, most cyclists in Vancouver do not act entitled.However, Gregor Robertson has gone hugely overboard with bike lanes,  installing them in small back streets where they were never necessary and closing down lanes on major arteries like the Georgia viaduct,  for the benefit of zero to few cyclists as opposed to thousands of motorists.Firsr off,  we simply do not have the huge numbers of cyclists in Amsterdam and Copenhagen and we never will because we do not have a concomittant adequate transit system and,  with all the prevalent hand wringing over funding,  we probably never will,  so more people are compelled to drive.Secondly,  there are much better ways to serve cyclists.In Europe sidewalks and crosswalks ate divided into painted zones- one for cyclists and one for pedestrians.And a one way lane for cyclists on a one way street would avoid closing a lane to vehicular traffic.
