@Falls Church I think WABA is a great organization but they spend too much of their money on community events and not enough on lobbyists and lawyering up.

That comment is only partly true. WABA is a great organization, and it is correct that WABA does not use its funds to sue tortfeasors or government agencies, though it sometimes helps members find a lawyer. But it is wrong to suggest that WABA spends its members' dues on community events instead of lobbying. Dues mostly go toward improving the bicycle infrastructure, safer roads, and legal rights of cyclists. Making it easier for a cyclist to bring a case, and fixing the inherent unfairness enforcement procedures, will help more people than taking a case or two a year.

The events generally pay for themselves.
