First to the intersection has the right of way. A cyclist is a vehicle. If they dismount then they become a pedestrian but not until that point. The arrogance of some riders is astounding, though of course there are also some riders who do things correctly.

I find it quite hypocritical that some riders go on about being environmentally superior commuters yet they'll not think twice about forcing a bunch of vehicles to a full stop to save themselves a few seconds waiting for a break in traffic. When I ride I wait my fair turn and am courteous unless given cause not to be. It's sad witnessing parents teaching kids bad habits, like not dismounting if they're using pedestrian crosswalk lights.
