Hmmmm.... I'll add a bit of controversy here.
I wouldn't be that sad to see Cycling England disappear. As a quango it's been a bit of a hit and miss affair - and it has quite high admin costs.
Bikeability? Developed by cyclists - now bastardised by bureaucrats.
Southend's notorious cycle lane? Got the Cycling England seal of approval.
Sustrans are pissed? They're very chummy with Cycling England and get most of their funding via them.
Cycle Trainers Database? Cycling England took the work from a not for profit organisation (CTC) and gave it to a consultancy firm.
Pushing for helmets? Anyone remember the bike safety piece that caused such concern a while ago, with it's insistence on helmet use? That was a Cycling England creation.
My understanding is that funding will remain (albeit reduced given the current economic constraints) but the rather wasteful and questionable way of distributing it through Cycling England will go. Bikeability will remain I hope, administered through local authorities and cycling groups such as CTC, LCC and the other cycling campaigns.
So, as long as the funding for cycling is still there (and I think it will be given the new public health emphasis and the fact that cycling is being pushed by the NHS), I won't be too sad to see the demise of Cycling England.
