Is it really okay for bi people to do the following?
Does being bi automatically provide with the ability to date two people without it being called cheating as long as the two are different genders?

Let's say there's a man that marries a brunette woman. Although he's married to her, he is still potentially attracted to blondes and redheads. And just because he's attracted to women with all three colors of hair doesn't mean he has to have one of each.
It's the same way with bisexuality. Bisexuals are attracted to both sexes their entire lives (it never changes, though the preference may fluctuate). If a straight person can't have 1 of every type of person their attracted to, then why should a bisexual person have a male and female lover.
Some people do this fine, but it's rare. I personally think monogamy is best in all situations.

No, not at all. If you're dating two people at the same time no matter what gender they are and no matter how any of you identify it is still cheating, unless you're in an open relationship or are polyamorous and everyone is aware and ok with it. Then that's perfectly exceptable.
Just because someone is bi does not give them the "permission" to date as many people as they want, it's not an excuse. To me anyway.

Well.... different people have different views, I know a lot of the girls at my school seem to think it's ok, but I think that just because you like both genders you have to be with both genders. I mean, if it's not ok to have two partners normally then why would it be ok then? Idk...to each their own I suppose. But as far as I'm concerned it's still cheating.

No, it's not okay, at least not for me. I would never be OK with my partner dating a man while she's dating me, just like she wouldn't be OK with me doing the same thing.
Being bisexual doesn't mean you have to be with two different people because you just can't decide which gender you like most. Would it be OK for a straight person to date two different people the opposite sex?
As far as I'm concerned, it's definitely not my thing (dating more than one person, no matter their sex), but if it works for people, great. I'm afraid this only works around 10% of the times though.

No, that's cheating UNLESS both parties are aware of the situation and choose to accept it. If people are open and honest, they can agree to many forms of relationships. Anything on the downlow is going to be hurtful, one way or another. Just seek out people who want the same things and have open agreements. All relationships are not traditional, but that doesn't make it wrong as long as honesty is at the nase of it all. Good luck!

What?! No, that's not okay at all. Being attracted to both genders does not give anyone permission to be a cheater.

its okay if everyone in the relationship agrees to it.. the same as heterosexuals and homosexuals. the rules aren't any different. common sense people.

There's no such thing as cheating. And "dating" is never an exclusive relationship.
