Ha. OoooK. What you're describing is actually just encouraging others to use common courtesy. Remember common courtesy? No one is "insisting" anything, and the kind of "offense" being given in this case is not the same type that "PC" refers to.
"Politically correct" has to do with, you know, politics! Particularly racial or cultural politics, and the usage of certain words, some pejorative and some descriptive, which have come to be considered slurs by the specific groups they refer to. For example the term "redskins" is considered a slur by many Native Americans. "People who listen to music on bikes" is not one of these groups or classes.
(Also, FYI, the > symbol means "greater than" not "equals".)
