Portland is one of the top bike friendly cities in the nation. We have bike lanes everywhere, plenty of places to lock bikes up, racks on the tram and buses for bikes etc. I don't think I have ever gone downtown and not encountered at least one biker who was an asshole. They scream at you to pay attention to them or yield to them, yet they weave in and ot of traffic, up and down onto and off of the sidewalks etc. It is amazing. Like you say they want the rules to be followed, they just don't want to follow them themselves.
