How many people here are a member of the London Cycling Campaign?
And more to the point, why? Is it just for the 10% shop discount?
I'm thinking, if londonfgss.com gets large, that perhaps we have the spending power to request discounts for us without having to join the LCC. I can't imagine Brixton Cycles, Condor and others would say no to the idea of attracting sales from a decent sized group of people, who perhaps might make the 10% discount re-coupable over the unit savings of larger orders (because we'd all be buying specifically fixed and single-speed stuff which is a pretty narrow product range).
It's just an idea... if there aren't many LCC members, or we're just a member for the discount, then let's see if we can get the benefits from working together without the overhead of politics (which we may not necessarily agree with)... not that it stops you from being a member of the LCC too.
