My visit with them and follow up information leads me to believe that as their origin would indicate their primary focus is on expanding the use of bicycles. I found nothing that showed they were involved in changing either criminal or tort law. The organizations their staff referred me to seem to be focused on expanding the use and acceptability of pedestrians and bicycles, not addressing criminal and tort law. That focus is not at all unusual. Nor is it bad. It just means a person whose focus is on changing criminal law may not find a lot of assistance from this type organization. Sometimes such organizations can be refocused, sometimes not.

Organizatioins, not just bicycle, often develop an organizational culture that is oriented around their original focus. Sometime this can be changed and often not. Also, experience is that organizations that have a disease fighting model are very different than those who have a justice system change model. It is a much different thing to organize to fight diabetes, or to expand the use of bicycles than to get the societal change to reduce drunk driving, for example.
