Errr, I'm wondering where you got that idea.  Roads have been around for a
few thousand years before cars.  Did you also know that the decision to pave
(instead of using dirt or cobblestones) most of the US's roads was spurred
on by bicyclists?  Traffic laws were similarly around well before cars.
Basically, roads and traffic regulations are for traffic of all sorts,
automobiles, pediestrians, horse drawn carriages, cyclists, cows, etc.  No
matter who you are or how you choose to travel, you are always using the
roads at your own risk, since the laws that protect your right (or
priviledge in the case of motor vehicles) to use the roads can't actually
prevent someone who's ignornant, inattentive, or malicious from hitting you.
