Re: Limitess
As you say, great news.
Re: Limitless
Cycling UK was involved in the creation of the Inclusive Cycling Network 2012-2015(?) and continues to support volunteering opportunites at Inclusive Cycling Centres.
Well done to BC for building on this work. Not so well done in accepting Shell sponsorship.

I commented similarly in 2022 when the Shell sponsorship was announced - viewtopic.php?p=1730290#p1730290.gaz wrote: ↑24 Nov 2024, 7:28pm Cycling UK was involved in the creation of the Inclusive Cycling Network 2012-2015(?) and continues to support volunteering opportunites at Inclusive Cycling Centres.

I am curious whether the UCI based its shortlisting of BC's Limitless programme on feedback from the various representative bodies for people with disabilities. They, not the UCI, are the ones best placed to judge the Limitless programme. In comparison it would also be interesting to know what those representative bodies thought of the work done by CUK and its volunteers over many years.
