CSA Licences

[campyonly]

 

any one have an idea why what was said in the press release from the CSA president differs from the statement (supposedly from CSA) that was printed in Bicycling magazine?????

 

Surely something like this should at least be explained consistently within the same month?? or is it a case of different spokesmen with different understandings??

I do not yet understand why CSA can enforce "a law" to require my licensing with them. There is no law which requires my licensing.

 

Licensing is a form of regulating one's participation within a structure. The funrides that i participate in needs no CSA endorsement. They are large, well funded and well supported. CSA - seemingly - does not add value to them, as they have (over time) found the business model to fund themselves. As a matter of fact, CSA will comply with the requirements of the Argus, 94.7, Amashova etc, and build their calendar of league events around their requirments, not vice versa.

 

Surely CSA is relevant in pro riding. Pro riders (professionals who are subject to disciplinary rules, codes of conduct, ethics) need a governing body to facilitate their various structures.

 

I do understand that a massive amount of cash will be generated from 'licensing' fun riders. Why this might be required, I do not. What will CSA do with the 10mil? generated? How will riders benefit?

 

Please tell me that CSA will build cycle paths. Please tell me CSA will have a medical evacuation service - not just a token service! - available to me.  Please tell me that CSA will be able to lobby for road closure on small events. Please tell me CSA will be able to resolve the apparent infighting and bickering within timers of events.

 

Please remember, that all of these concerns have allready been in the care of CSA for years, and i do not know what they have been able to resolve, to date.

 

The only visible progress made, has been made where CSA has not been involved. Seemingly, when such a project does become a success, CSA wants 'in' on the action.  Licensing Argus, OFM, 94.7, Amashova, Kremetart etc, looks like a cheap shot, guys?

Guys it is simple if CSA is not complying with what you want then I challenge you to be bold and take on the position of Provincial executive members in your provinces and then vote out all the people you feel is doing a bad job get yourselves elected onto CSA and help us cyclists with a free for all system you advocating now.( all this is going costs you is a couple of votes from your associates).

I agree with just about everything that was said in the thread.  But guess what, CSA doesn't CARE!!  They will enforce it, so you have a choice or so.

1. Register, license and ride using aseeding

2. Don't race, period.

3. Sit in bunch ZZ with a temp lic.

 

The CSA doesn't care about this one, live with it.
