I did some cycling training with someone other than Will (a really great guy called Jim).
I'm a confident and comptent cyclist but having read a fair few posts about the beneifts I thought I'd give it a go.
I'm glad I did because as others had said it confirmed what I was doing was right and I also learnt a few new things (for example when approaching certain junctions I wasn't 'taking the lane' - I do now). I did it with my local authority (Richmond) and it only cost £15 for 2 hours and I even got a free D-lock and some maps!
It made me realise that everytime a driver acts like a cock it's not because I've done something wrong but because they are indeed twats (I wanted to make sure like).
