I'd be happy with the Highway Code being updated, or with other provision being made for cyclists, but it sounds like you're suggesting cyclists should just ignore the rules? The trouble with that is that by not following the rules, it's harder for other road users (in particular pedestrians) to predict what they're going to do. Even though bikes are much lighter than cars, I'd prefer not to be hot by either!
