On the forum it's also not entirely impossible that some of cycle training's most forthright advocates are, how can I put this politely, er, well, you know what I mean.
Dear Mr Melling
It has come to our attention that you have been assuming people know what's inside your head, perhaps due to it seeming perfectly obvious to you and therefore not worth stating.Arrogant males who assume their cycling is top notch superduper?
or
Really very well informed and actually top notch superduper cyclists?No, I don't know what you mean. Please say it for my thick-as-shit benefit.

Well, one part that no one, me included, has an answer to is why men are far less likely to request training than women. It's also true that when they come for training men generally overstate their current ability and women understate it.
The other thing that puts people off is the very name 'cycle training' which has led to some courses being called 'advanced urban cycling skills' or whatever.
I suppose we are talking about people who know it exists as well - because so few people do which just might have an effect on uptake.
