They do have the same rights. It's not all that often that you'll get a line of traffic stuck behind a cyclist as most cars have no problem shooting right around one. I always make sure to move over as far as safely possible when being trailed, it's too dangerous to get too close to the edge of the road or the center-line. People just hate to have to slow down a bit and are too impatient. You'll spend less time behind a cyclist in a month than you will at a single stoplight in NoVA in most cases.
