CTC, Cycling UK.

I'm not sure if you're being serious, what does :P indicate?

BC is pro-helmet, though.

CTC membership is pretty worthless since it became a charity but at least you still get the 3rd party insurance.

i was a bit ambiguous, sorry. But I've written a lot here; what do YOU think about CUK's work for cyclists?

Disappointed.
I was interested in campaigning but there was little support. At the last area AGM I attended Campaigning wasn't even on the Agenda, I took it as a message and let my membership lapse after 20 years of living in hope.
Classic33 has translated the emoji for me, so I guess we are of similar mind.

The real advantage of CUK is the lack of Chris Boredman.

What's wrong with that?

This looks like a big own goal by CUK they will loose a lot of members

 

[lane]

I am still seeing elsewhere that these are proposal s at this stage to be voted on at the AGM

I had thrird party insurance via a specialist company until a year or two ago when I found it was covered on the house insurance. I paid £10 (which also covered Europe), and since I only wanted 3rd party insurance with out any of the other "benefits" that 'CTC' provide, felt that it was a good deal.

May I make a suggestion, for those that want to continue CTC / CUK membership it maybe worth considering life membership. For years I used the 5 years for 4 years payment option. On suggestion of a club mate I checked the life membership calculator. This March I paid in effect less than 8 years senior rate in advance, I’m now a life member. I know some of you are muttering smug b*****d

 

[Drago]

Now you're tied to them no matter how wacky, stupid or idiotic they become.

Quick update,As an HSBC account holder,i can get a discount on British Cycling membership.So a fee of £23-50p for the year with all benefits except the magazine,also Mrs P is going to join,so a saving at this household.

Don't forget to throw away the knotted hanky and plus fours before you join us on the dark side. BC Silver Member here for 34 years.

Cycling UK is like The Ramblers Association 👅

If we are playing the image association game, British Cycling for me produces images of bullying and drugs. Only silver? More drugs.
I'd consider rejoining the ctc if i was convinced they did anything, and reversed this planned move.

 

[Juan Kog]

I did consider B/C membership, but I’m not eligible as I once owned a Dawes Galaxy, so I’m stuck with CTC / CUK or whatever its called next year.

Then your local group was sub-standard; what have BC done for your area?

What do you think of CUK's work nationally?
