The hard thing seems to be agreement about what to do with stuff. I can cite the truck thing as an example, there's real will on here to do something, but what that is remains unclear. Decision by committee doesn't work, and people don't really put their weight behind things that they don't think is the thing to do, so it ends up being heavily fragmented and internally political. I truly think it's a real loss to the whole cycling community that we're so unable to speak as one voice to make lobbying or other action really work, yet at the same time it's the character of the community that this never happens and it's part of what is so awesome about cyclists (that it really is a collective of so many individuals each of whom have their own views and agendas).
