Maybe there was a lawsuit at some point.
Yes. I get the feeling there's maybe fear of litigation/ bad p.r. headed their way. The Newport case probably won't have helped calm that fear.
I think the biggest problem for us is that we are, largely ,managed by people who have very little understanding of cycling, the risks, the people, the equipment etc etc.
Yup, especially when the managers pass through like busses on their career highway and the same conversations have to be had from scratch with each new one.

Fair enough, maybe it was just my interpretation or feeling like I was being argumentative.
British and Scottish Cycling seem to have a long standing fear of taking too much involvement with equipment. It's like they don't want to look at what you're using incase they see something dodgy and have to deal with it or don't and then there's a problem and someone gets injured and says it should have been picked up, who knows. Maybe there was a lawsuit at some point.
