This reminds me of a similar case in the Netherlands, about ten years ago. About one hundred years ago some enthousiastic bicycle riders founded the "general bicylists society". In Dutch it was named ANWB, abbreviation of "Algemene Nederlandse Wielrijders Bond". However, in the course of the years, this society turned more or less away from bicyclists and became mainly an automobile service organization and lobby club. Some ten years age bicyclysts who were dissatisfied with this development, founded an alternative "Real Dutch Bicyclists Society" (ENWB, Echte Nederlandse Wielrijders Bond). The ANWB sued the ENWB because their name was too similar with ANWB, and, unfortunately, in the end the ENWB had to change their name. Paul Huygen
