Public exhortations to cycle-commute, or utility cycle are well and good with no individual responsibility for bad outcomes, but I would not want the recriminations of a personal endorsement if something bad happened.
Something bad can happen either way. By your advocacy or non-advocacy you are as much responsible for their auto accidenta as you are for their bicycle accidents. Which would be not at all.
