Are bicyclist subject to same laws as motor vehicles?

Answer 1

I don't have an answer, just a question.

When I was out driving in my vehicle, I came to a 4-way stop. I waited for my turn. The vehicle that had the right of way proceeded through the intersection. there was a cyclist behind the vehicle and it also proceeded through the intersection immediately after the vehicle. My question is shouldn't the cyclist waited until I went through the intersection since it was my turn? do cyclists not follow the same rules as vehicles if they are actually on the road and not in the bike lane?

thanks
