Advocacy for cyclists you think that is? Nothing could be more hypocritical than your arguments, and you either cannot understand that, or you refuse to do so for ideological reasons associated with opposition to motoring. Doubly hypocritical that, first for being against the interests of cyclists, second for being controlled by the cyclist-inferiority superstition that was invented by motorists.
