Hi Ross No, no, no I am not thinking of that. That is part of the problem with newsgroups is the ability to read something into something that is not there. That is part of the problem of reacting without asking. AND I AM JUST AS GUILTY.
Personally, I would prefer if the OBC did not impliment any program at this time. What I would like is some public moral support for education from members of the OBC. In the last few days, I have seen public postings that have suggested anything from cancelling time trials to taking over the OBC. I find those statements discouraging and demoralizing. Earlier in the year someone posted message on the OBC list about how he was going to help his sister out with a bike rodeo at her school and show his OBC colours. This is a wonderful thing to do except that bike rodeos don't work. The problem with this is that now the OBC looks like it is promoting ineffective cycling education. Now here is just a suggestion of how OBC members could help out -- by dissementing information to their neighbours and families about what works and what doesn't work and why only effective CAN-BIKE courses work. So wave the OBC colours, encourage the young ones to join the OBC --- all that I ask at the very least is that we have a responsibility as cyclists to pass on accurate information. Education is an issue not a fence side.
