How about just safety concerns? Advocacy is difficult when the dangers, real or imagined, are focused on.

It's hard to support or promote something that is described as dangerous. Cycling isn't dangerous at all compared with, say, showering, so maybe the two (safety and advocacy) need a permanent divorce...
