My way of thinking, although I could be wrong (it wouldn't be the first time) is that if the club helps take action in making the roads safer for cyclists they will attract more members. There are a few clubs within a 20 mile radious here. If course I joined the one that is closest to me, but I would have a lot of respect for the club that promoted safety and awareness on the roads. That will be my argument anyway.

This year the board is made up of all fairly new people, including the President. He is the nicest guy and is really trying to promote and make the club one of the best around. Any ideas that I have mentioned they seemed to like so hopefully we can make this idea a reality. I will keep you posted. (needless to say).
