And I'm of the opposite camp. I see little value in it. I have asked and received their membership packet and found that they basically sell maps and push very hard to do that. I too support the Bicycle Route program and countless other bicycle related activities - ones that ACA seems only to happy to take credit for. Funny, I can donate and support to my hearts content without interaction with the ACA but they would have you believe otherwise.

I check back frequently to see what they are up to, hoping that they do become the organization they claim to be but so far, in my opinion they just aren't. i'll continue to support the other programs I do instead.
