My advice right now: Keep your money in your pocket. It's not the same League I joined years ago when it was truly a cyclist's advocacy group. The new president of the LAB is former Bicycling magazine publisher Mike Greehan. I don't know if this is good or not.
I've heard about the League's money problems, and internal schisms. I think it is even possible that the League could even go under. Have any of you heard that membership has been on the decline for the past five years?
Back when they were "Wheelmen" it was OK, now it is all about how to play the lobby game, while forgetting the individual cyclist.
Frankly I was shocked to see the change from Wheelmen to LAB... it started the whole road to political decline.
