I am not in tune with the majority of cycling groups. Personally I think cyclist should spend more time enlisting and enthusing new riders rather than arguing for more segregated bike lanes – yes it would be nice to have them but we need more cyclists on the road to make the politicians take more account of us. I recently wrote a post about this on my blog – not a commonly held view I grant you, but until London and towns like it get the numbers of cyclists that Oxford does, we will always be seen as an annoying minority with only green issues on our side.
The blog post is here is anyone is interested.
