Well, she was breaking the law was she not? So I don't see what she did as being an advocate, but rather as being a rebellious protester.
And being on the road on a bike is not the same, as we are not breaking the law and our government has given us the right to be there, whereas Rosa Parks had not been afforded the right to refuse her seat... yet.
