Bicyclists are the only road users who are allowed to take to the highway without any formal training or licensing - perhaps a days training similar to a Motorcycle CBT would be of benefit to us all.

Bicycles are hard enough for other road users to see, but somtimes the way we ride does us no favors at all.

Ignoring the victim blaming here, you are plain wrong about cyclists being the only road users that are not formally trained.

Pedestrians have similar rights to cyclists, that is they have an absolute right to use the public highway EXCEPT motorways, similarly horse-riders.

Is it just me, or is this forum becoming more and more like the old C+ forum every day?
