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.

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.

From the list in the link Gravesend, Dartford, Snodland and Ebbsfleet are in the West Kent area and to the best of my knowledge rides are among the activities they offer. I've no knowlege of the membership status of participants.

Just stop moaning and organise one.

You can have a big flag saying "CUK are rubbish!" if it makes you feel better.
