I can't change the world, but maybe I could use these events as opportunities to warn fellow cyclists (those people who actually read bicycle forum posts) about something that they can avoid or manage to their benefit.

If and when truck drivers start reading my posts, I'll speak to them and my message will be very different.
I doubt it.

How about honestly advocating for once and read this one more time:

"Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on every public road, just as do all other users."

Show me one instance of your writing where this is remotely addressed?
