First step in my revolution would be to bring back cycle proficiency in all schools.
We don't need Cycle Proficiency, it's replaced by Bikeability which is a infinity better in many way.
I remember attending Cycle Proficiency when I was a kid, they were taught by teacher who doesn't ride a bicycle, hell I genuinely think that Cycle Proficiency actually made it worse reinforcing the sense that we're messing about with toys than actual vehicle that can be used for transportation.
Good Riddance it gone for goods, the only problem is that people still doesn't realised it been replaced by Bikeability.
If we really want the next generation to learn, teach driving instructor as well, whom can pass it to their student on how to work with cyclists on the road.

Sorry, but for many of the reasons more eloquently put by other posters above I don't want to have to support segregated cycle lanes. I genuinely think the marginalisation will end up doing more harm than good.
First step in my revolution would be to bring back cycle proficiency in all schools (we've fucked up at least two generations of people now driving on the roads who missed out on it) and hope to fuck it gets better in the next 20 years. In a similar vein, taking away teaching the Green Cross Code is probably partially responsible for the current generation(s) of lemming pedestrians.
