A few cycling campaign groups are made up of people who wear functional clothes and consider Millets trousers with detachable legs to be the height of fashion. But I have to acknowledge that at least they are willing to attend meetings, stand in the rain, collect signatures etc. My point that lead to Oliver starting this thread is that despite a lot of us being very vocal here, preaching to an audience of other cyclists, very few track-stand up and be counted at the roadside.
There are moments when it can feel like the Judean Peoples Front, there is some factioneering in the campaign groups, which does not always help matters, but this is where people like markbikeslondon are really doing amazing work, unifying various groups to come together.
I do appreciate this thread, I think the debate will be healthy, and hopefully it can be used to publicise campaigns in future.
