As an outsider to the politics of bike riding (didn`t know there was any until recently) but a member of the OBC- touring, cyclocross etc I can tell you that I do not want the OBC supporting other cycling groups. Why? All of these groups are inexpensive to join (some I understand are even funded by taxpayers much to my dismay) and those OBC members who wish to support them can go ahead and do that directly.
I am involved with a local charity that raises thousands of dollars each year. Typically we do not share funds with other charities even though most of the time we agree with their goals. We spend "our" money directly on people in need that meet our criteria. We figure if someone wanted their donation to go to the United Way (I send them money too) or any other worthwhile cause then our supporters would have made the cheque payable to them. Same goes for the bike community. W.
