Cheerio Cycling England then

Charlie, do we need a govornment quango appointed by govornment to talk to government about cycling? To what extent to the advocacy groups such as LCC, CTC , Sustrans talking and able to present a united voice on improving conditions for cyclists?

Is there a confederation of advocacy groups that meet and agree key messages such as lowering speed limits accross UK, driver culpability as default in any crash etc... easy ones to agree I imagine.
Time to start talking i think

The present government is clearly more likely to want to discuss issues with an unrepresentative government funded and appointed body than with bodies that are paid for by and represent cyclists, which is precisely why they are disbanding it. This government has no interest in talking to cyclists and even less in listening to them.
