  • Can anyone clarify to me, the uninvolved, what exactly LCC's stance on cycling is?

    I seem to recall when I've asked before is that LCC effectively had a vote where you had to choose between 'vehicular'/fast cycling in the road or dutch style tootling on segregated cycle paths, LCC chose the latter and now anyone else should GTFO and anyone who tries to proffer up any other attitude will get harassed and shot down by LCC members.

    Is this truly the case? And if so, what affect is this going to have on cycling in the city if the main campaigners have agressively created and are enforcing a fracture within cycling? And is there anything that can be done about it?

    IIRC at the last AGM before the mayoral election the LCC board decided to adopt the 'Go Dutch' campaign to push for more segregated infrastructure, and I think the new Space For Cycling campaign is following on from that. Charlie from LCC is probably the man to ask if you're interested in how the decisions were reached.

    Differences of opinion are inevitable in any type of campaign. I don't think it's reasonable to accuse the LCC of being 'splitters' - people aren't always going to agree on everything. If you don't think the organisation reflects your views as a member, you can look for another campaign that does, or stand as a trustee and try and change the direction of travel.
