  Thanks. Rode out from Battersea night before, nearly arrested as police were staking out the course from the bottom of box hill all the way down the back. Had to stash the paint and hide in the bushes twice.

  Every single TNRC and derivative - that is the true spirit of the forum right there.

  Damn right.

  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.
