Those were my thoughts too Kim. It's oddly juvenile.
BQ's intimacy vs advocacy balance is way out in my opinion. Community
organisations like this always have to balance intimacy with the powers that be
and advocacy for their members interests. Too noisy and you're ignored as
trouble-makers; too quiet and you're ignored as pushovers.
RACQ, for all their faults, manage that balance extremely well (with vastly
greater resources of course). BQ's excuse has long been that with few cyclists
to represent and even fewer members, they have no real choice but to pussy-foot.
They'll soon have 10,000 members, so that hardly washes now.
