Thanks Balki, glad you feel you got something out of it. Balki is an experienced and capable rider, like many people on here, and it's as much about what such a rider is doing right as wrong. Each person has areas where they feel less confident or there might be different ways of looking at a situation. It's not like the Marines, it's not about breaking someone down and then building them up again. It can be about basic stuff; like not indicating without looking back first and hitting another cyclist in the face with your hand, as happened to me a couple of days ago. Helmet, high-vis and no idea. Mostly with experienced riders though it's about being assertive, aware and able to communicate. Generally I think forum members know a lot of this already.
Anyone who is interested in training for themselves or someone they know feel free to get in touch. If you are eligible for free training I will point you to that.
