The offence is committed where the standard of cycling falls well below the standard expected of a competent and careful cyclists
So in order to establish what competent and careful cycling looks like for the layperson, we need clear cycling standards, like driving standards. These will describe cycling in the middle of the lane, in the primary position as the place to be.
There will have to be accompanying public information films showing competent and careful cycling

I wonder if the wording will be similar to the dangerous driving charge.
The offence is committed where the standard of cycling falls well below the standard expected of a competent and careful cyclists and, it would be obvious to a careful and competent cyclist that driving in that manner would be dangerous.
perhaps juries will be required to submit their strava miles before there allowed to hear the case. Or more likely it’ll be a jury made up of people who haven’t ridden a bike since they were 5.
