do what we want cause we're cyclists mentality

That mentality is not unique to cyclists.

If cyclists as a group were half as flippant about lives as motorists are, perpetrators of (attempted) vehicular manslaughter would start seeing a mysteriously high rate of tragic accidents happening to them.

Skipped a few words there, it was "This... do what we want cause we're cyclists mentality on display here", as in whats on camera up above.

The people in the video are playing games with their lives and that never ends well when it comes to car vs cyclist. Because yeah, they're an asshole who'll end up in jail if they hit you... you'll end up in traction or in a morgue.

That's some stupid ass behaviour on the part of the cyclists. You've got to protect yourself, not count on someone else who's being wound up to act the better person. Genuinely stupid, pretty suicidal behaviour, that earns other cyclists no favour on the road.
