This.

Cycling is dangerous so a certain amount of respect for that is necessary. But focusing people on the vulnerability of cyclists and dangers to them is going to have the effect of having people wanting cyclists off the road. But the emphasis needs to be on risk management, not on the vulnerabilities. I already get enough flak from friends and even my wife who'd prefer I didn't ride in situation X or Y.
