Cycle campaigning

You sound really resentful BQ.

I don't see how LCC develops and manages its campaigns any differently from any other campaign organisation? Once the key arrangements have been confirmed LCC will of course inform its members who will no doubt discuss, question, debate, challenge and work with the staff/committee to hone the details.

But don't you agree he's got a point? At this stage it's just "hey guys we're going to protest! Not sure what we're going to protest about yet but we can count on your support, right?"

Well, no, there should be an idea of what's actually on the table. There are many different opinions about what the biggest issues are, and as many different opinions on how to fix those issues. Those opinions are in many places irreconcilable. There's no point in lending your support to a cause that hasn't been established yet, otherwise if it turns out to be incompatible with your views when it is established you're just going to abandon it. "Oh wait, turns out I don't want to carry ID with me wherever I go so my bike can be impounded", or "oh hang on, I didn't realise this protest was geared towards agitating for a completely separate cycling infrastructure".

Calling BQ "resentful" for pointing that out seems a little over-emotional and ignores the main thrust of what he's saying.
