  If I were doing this now, I would 100% set up an Open Collective

  I’m a director of the new non profit that maintains Open Collective, and the largest host in the network (Open Source Collective). JF (who runs Open Collective Europe) is a racing cyclist too and I am sure he would host you. If not Open Source Collective is another option.

  Completely up to the group who takes it on. OSC and OCEU work together in a cooperative of sorts.

  Phew, that was a lot of reading. Glad that there seem a couple of very real options on the table. Mine was going to be to transfer to a fiscal sponsor org that's willing to accept the risk and fight the legislation if necessary.

  Regardless of what happens I think we should still organise a big old ride and inc. a bit of a demonstration on Parliament Sq. :)

  Big love @Velocio

• The end of LFGSS Bonanza Day Out on Bikes - Saturday 15th March 2025

  I was thinking exactly the same @mashton. A big old ride, preferably via Parliament Sq with signs making quite clear what a great community this is, and the consequences of the legislation are. I'm thinking something along the lines of 'CNUTS!'

  On the organising side, I'm happy to help lead/marshall/backstop a nice long ride and to contribute in any way to a venue for a bit ol party.

  Shimmy 105 in black. Includes everything bar rotors and bb. £200 ONO posted.

  175mm arms
  52/36 rings
  11-28 cassette

  Cassette and chain have done maybe 500kms on winter rig with mudguards. Pads are about a month old. I’m 6’7” so I expect you may be okay with hose lengths. Happy to prove more pics as necessary.

  Selling as I upgraded the summer bike and parts have trickled down.

  DHB dorica road shoes for somone requiring a bit of bling for the spring.

  Size 10.5 (but come up a little large, closer to an 11). Surplus to requirements. Ridden indoor only maybe 2-3 times. Description says carbon sole but the tongue suggests nylon. Plenty stiff but maybe not for racing.

  Purchased in that redic sale last year so looking to get what I paid for them £30+postage.
