The traditional civil disobedience (MLK, Ghandi, Thoreau) requires non-violence even in the face of non-governmental violence. And yes, for civil rights marchers, dying was sometimes part of the bargain.
Before you embarass yourself even more, go to the library and check out "Eyes on the Prize." See what a real civil rights movement does.
And finally, segregation based on race is evil. Segregating bicyclists off to the edge of the road is bad policy. Let's keep a sense of proportion here.
