Going to sound like a moralistic a-hole, but what the hell.....

I would flip the question and ask what are riders responsibilities.

We probably all have family and people who rely on us, so how about our responsibility to them to be as safe as possible riding ie wearing gear (including helmets), not speeding.

Or how about our responsibility to other road users, like carrying insurance, having a bike that's mechanically sound, not making dangerous maneuvers etc...

Maybe even our responsibility to other riders to not ride like a jerk thereby giving us all a bad name?

This doesn't just apply to bikers for sure, but to channel Jordan Peterson lets set our own house in order before we "fix" the world.

I see that as riders responsibilities vs. rights.

All good stuff, but a different take that what the OP asked to me.
