Are you a barber? You certainly do like to split hairs.

BTW, how does your superfluous definition above differ from "Bike Advocacy", or "Cycling Advocacy"?

Your definition might be clearer if it included, "Self-identified VC Advocates are ardently and inflexibly opposed to bike lanes, or any other cyclist-specific roadway accommodations, and think that those who support such accommodations are: a) unskilled as cyclists, and/or b) simple-minded, and/or c) spawned from Satan".
