Spoiled British cyclists don't get it cause they take their right to use the road as granted. Your forefathers fought that right for you in the 1930's (know your history, bro).
In US the fight on-going 1970's -->. That's why the format of the Cali law; default is the motorist view that cyclists should be out of way and exemptions added to that when cyclists have succesfully argued situations when they can't safely stay out of way.
In the continental Northern Europe cyclists generally didn't understand what hit them, when the road rights got canceled.
