Why must bikes give way to cars?

Give way, but only cyclists.

These days, on new housing estates cycleways are often provided.   The following are two pictures of the entrance to cul-de-sacs.  Now Cul-de-sacs are dead-ends, with a limited number of houses, or a Close.   So the traffic in and out is somewhat limited, and the road is not a through road.  

  The trough 'Spine-Road' is on the right of this picture, to which runs this cycleway runs parallel.  If motor vehicles are not required to give way in this scenario, then the same rule should apply to cycles. The road going to the left is the access road to a small close.


The same spine road, the same scenario, and there are several more such examples on this estate. 
The priority should be reversed.
