They'll be able to lobby and advocate without having to be constantly tied down to executing government contracts for bikeways planning, and worrying about maintaining relationships with bureaucrats. With a good financial base, they can start forming alliances with politicians - and then the fun will really start. They'll be able to work around the pencil pushers. I hope they've got someone working on legislation they'd like to see in place in the next couple of years. You know, strategic political stuff that will position their allies to benefit from pro-bicycle changes.
