Hardly all of them
When you notice a cyclist acting like a twat and jumping red lights, you no doubt think to yourself, 'There goes a twat' and rightly so.

When you see a cyclist acting sensibly, obeying signals etc, I doubt you think, now there goes a sensible cyclist.

I'm a cyclist, and I use cycle paths where possible, otherwise I ride on the road. I follow the laws on the road as I expect car drivers to do, and still I've been driven straight into at T junctions by numpty drivers

I accept that all car drivers are not this way (otherwise there's no way in hell I'd cycle on the roads at all), but some of them are. Goes for cyclists unfortunately.

Part of the reason is the shitty cycle paths that the government half heartedly put in everywhere. We could learn a lot from Holland.

I dunno.
I work in central Mordor. I see a lot of dickhead cyclists, one of which stopped and threatened to spark me as I had had the audacity to cross the road on the green man.

Arm out - throat height
In London they jump red lights at crossings all the time. Unfortunately the speed they put on to get in front of you works against them when a 16st commuter "accidently" collides with them.

Again, yeah...
...the desire to install a rear-view so I can be ready to clothesline one of the pillocks amongst us grows with each time I see one of them do it.

*smack* 'AWK! WTF!' 'Red means stop, dickhead'. Though if I was going to do that, I'd have to find some Accord decals for my bike.

They were obviously a cunt
Unfortunately they exist.

I try to redress the balance by being a jolly civil cyclist, with a bell on my bike and everything. When going down the towpath, I always make sure to give a cheery wave and a thankyou.

Cycle paths don't always help
Quite a few years ago they built a cycle path along a considerable length of the A127. I used to use it a fair bit - it was new, flat, well-maintained and got me the other side of the kerb from 70mph traffic.

Yet amazingly I still used to see (and still do) the lycra-clad brigade avoiding it as if they'd catch saddle-itch or something.

Yeah, I notice that...
...in my neck of the woods too. I figure possibly that being dressed like a penis in a novelty condom sponsored by who-the-fuck-ever has some effect on thier common sense.

I'd rather ride seperate from the motorised traffic if I can, so why the novelty condoms don't is a mystery to me.

In general...
...I do take note when I see a sensible cyclist because it's such a rarity. The mickey-takers are so prevalent as to cause confusion in my brain when I actually see one obeying the law.
