I was not elected last week as a trustee of the LCC, but things have been moving fast since.

Members approached me after the election, regretted I was not elected, wish to see the ideas pursued. (Not too bad a result from a 2-min presentation.) I promised to pursue  them anyway, just without the ‘mandate’ election would have given me.

Turns out the board’s ideas for the “Go Dutch” run quite close to mine. So co-option to one or two LCC committees seems likely.

Meanwhile there are rumours elsewhere of a ‘cyclists party’ single-issue campaign in the 2012 Mayoral election to mobilise a swing vote to force commitments to cycling onto the winning candidate’s platform. Stay tuned.
