I am sure a good funding application from the OSMF for financial support to
promote cycling data gathering and/or host cycle maps would find some
takers. I have pretty good contacts into the UK cycling organisations (CTC,
Sustrans, Cycle England, etc) and also contacts with other potential funders
who could be interested in supporting such a project. I will be speaking to
people from both CTC and Sustans at the Big Green Gathering from Aug 1st-5th
(and will also be promoting OSM).
Regards,
Peter
