Fellow cyclists, we have a right to the road, and deserve respect, but we would have an easier time making our case if we were seen to be following the law.

I think cyclists should be respectful and courteous to others (which is different than "following the law"). Where I disagree is that by "following the traffic laws" we'd somehow build up a store of goodwill by some "public". In general, the animosity of drivers towards cyclists is born out of inconvenience, and the myth of the scofflaw cyclist is merely a cheap rationalization.
