Cheerio Cycling England then

Maybe because there isn't such a divide as we previously thought, participation often leads to competition. Even if, in most cases, it doesn't, then there's still many reasons for all cycling in the UK to be within the interest of BC.

Perhaps. i remember when BC introduce Go-ride in competition with national Standard level 1 training. LAs bought go-ride in some instances and pissed off some NS / bikeabilityn organisations especially because NS level 1 was clearly preparation for the road (so one handed riding was taught as a means to signal to road users. In go-ride one handed riding was in order to lift a water bottle from a cage. It wasn't intened to promote commuting and was deemed a BC talent spotting excersise )
