I love the irony in that.

It's pretty much the same with my club. By kvetching loudly, next year some rides are slated to start in the city. Of course, I've been tapped to lead them... (Be careful what you ask for.)

The other thing that has me shaking my head about my club is that of the meetings I've attended, I'm the only one who arrived by bike. There was another bike at the volunteer appreciation dinner earlier this month. But it was used as a prop and arrived in the back of a minivan.

Full disclosure: I will confess to having had ride partners pick me up twice for rides in another part of the state. Bike was not pleased with that at all. For about a week it threw its chain every time I shifted to the small ring. It stopped only after I threatened to take it to the LBS that it doesn't like.
