The London Cycling Campaign is issuing a crowdfunding campaign to try to limit the damage it says it being done by “taxi drivers, anti-cycling councils, and groups of organised and well-resourced NIMBY residents” to important landmark cycling safety schemes.
The group says that hard-won plans like Tavistock Place, CS11 and Mini Hollands are all under threat, and without the new Fighting Fund For Cycling may never come to fruition.
LCC says the funds will pay to:
• Provide evidence that demonstrates how important the infrastructure in these schemes is for children, families, local residents and local businesses.
• Design and produce communications materials so residents know the schemes are under threat.
• Significantly step up lobbying of councils to get them to embrace cycling.
• Run social media campaigns to increase public awareness that the schemes are under threat.
• Build alliances with big organisations to educate them on the benefits of cycling and enable the voice of progressive organisations to be heard loud and clear by politicians and officers.
LCC has secured a pot of matched funding from major donors and cycling trade organisation, meaning that every donation LCC receives up to £5,000 will be doubled.
In other words, you donate £20 and LCC receives £40.

I'm not so sure. Something seems to turn perfectly reasonable humans into raving lunatics when they get behind the steering wheel.
The FAQ says if you have a faulty crank with 3rd party power meter they will pay a rebate. No mention of how much that will be but I guess good...
