Fuck 'em, don't let it, neither is a proper cycling club.
EC1 can't enter proper races due to its membership criteria and RCC was conceived purely as a vehicle for selling more expensive clothing to people who are easily swayed by marketing.
The people who join are bigger idiots than those that don't. If they feel the need to pay £xxx to make them feel part of something, or to feel superior, more fool them.

This whole RCC vs EC1 thing has diluted the conversation completely. But that's internet.
IMO RCC although a 'paid' club is a bit more democratic (Vibrant? Diverse?) than EC1. And shouldn't be used in same sentence as EC1.
No point demonising marketing living in a western society, its the only job left to do in Brexit Britain.

What bothers me about EC1 and RCC is the sense they give off as being somehow above cycling clubs with their arcane rules, club 10s and treasurer elections.
