Sounds good. If only such groups always concentrated on positive things like that which genuinely improved the lot of the cyclist, instead of being so obsessed with putting restrictions on motorists (which often actually make things *worse* for cyclists in one way or another...speed cameras make the roads more dangerous, pointless traffic islands and other wastes of roadspace decrease the room given to cyclists when being overtaken, etc).

To be fair, I don't know whether Greenwich Cyclists have ever done anything like that. But "Sustrans" are quite another story.
