hey Oliver just to clear up any misunderstanding, my post was relating to dammit's original desire to make people more aware of the dangers at junctions, road positioning, being wary of hgv's etc. Not to malign the skill or experience of any of the riders who have been injured/killed recently.
My post was pointing to the fact that most people who buy bikes need to be told/educated on how to ride safely in london, and that these courses would be a good way to try and make new cyclists confident about riding on london's roads...
This thread has been posted up to try and find some solutions to the situations that cyclists find themselves, through their inexperience, lack of road awareness etc etc. I'm just adding my opinion to thes issues, without as previously stated laying any blame on the cyclists who have been injured/killed recently..
