I agree! North London Thundercats, 5th Floor and Sunday Eschappee are just three groups who are (to differing extents) showing how different kinds of club organisations can improve upon some of the traditional club structures.
But my time with VCL and experience so far with Brixton CC make these collectives painfully self-absorbed. They seem to think collaborating with a brand is some kind of mountain top of #engagement

I appreciate how honest FTR are. "Frustrated with the club model". This means not having to invest in women's cycling, junior cycling, organising wider group rides, engaging with the cycling community, learning from more experienced riders, actually racing, actually learning to race or attempting different cycling disciplines. All these AdultBro Collectives (FTR, EC1, Glorious etc) all are just an excuse to get matching kit, and let's be honest any estateagent 5-side afterworker footy can get matching shirts for christs sake. They're just brosefs with a fuckin website. Hooray.
