Sure, you'll work with those groups, but you'll also spend a load on self-promotion and political advocacy, making sure only one point of view is advocated. That's not the same as all of that money going to grass-roots stuff.

It never would, in any case, and on value for money comparisons we score very highly (very low overheads, for instance). All of our 'self-promotion' is spent on furthering the cause of cycling in London, and membership offers London cyclists a very good deal that saves them money. And of course effective campaigning includes (non-party) political advocacy. I'd certainly be happy to explain to you more how we operate as an organisation. Don't be misled because you disagree with one campaign (or more?) that we're running. Or, better still, get involved and help shape the way the LCC campaigns!
