Have to be careful what I write cos of my job.
Agree that some cycle campaign groups, whilst well intentioned, are actually at risk of making things worse than better. Single issue groups in many areas (not just cycling) are often guilty of this.
The local "cycle forums" & cycle campaign groups I've attended have a certain type of stereotype cyclist present, which is not representative of the range of folks who really do cycle day to day.
That said, there's some good been done, and if no-one campaigned things'd likely be much worse.
Oliver - you don't mention the Cycling Embassy
of Great Britain in your first post listing groups. Out of interest, why not?
