I'm not sure that protests work unless you have a genuine critical mass (recent events in the middle east for example). Cycling is a large minority sport that battles huge negative perceptions. Placard waving, petitions and protests are far less effective than constructive political measures.
I know this is a minority opinion but I believe that if you want to change the world you need to utilise professionalism, intelligence and network to the point that you have access to the key people and win them over with clear and intelligent argument. You need to get stuck in, build respect for who you are and what you stand for and then lead with dignity and humility.
