BC membership is _not_ £80. There are three adult levels, £11.50, £32 and £50.
Unless you wish to have Personal Accident Insurance, the £32 Silver level is probably best as it has
3rd party cover, free legal aid etc.
CTC equivalent adult membership is £28.50 with considerable reductions for Family, U26 etc.
Quoting £80 is a very unfair comparison, particularly as you have also added in the optional £30 for
a racing licence for road and track events.
My own choice is for CTC membership [1] as they are the only real national campaign organisation
looking after *all* cyclists rights. If I lived in London I might join the LCC, but it would be in
addition to the CTC.
[1] I pay £46 for our family of six.
