"2 of 7 of the young men I trained were very very worried about riding on the road- something I'd have bet my moots would be more likely to be a female point of view."
There is a natural link between this thread and the Cycle Training forum so I hope that people reading this will also have a look there. I had one rider, pretty 'advanced' and capable but he just would not contemplate making riding on busy roads a regular part of his commute. At the weekend I had a trainee who had come for training specifically because she wanted to shorten her commute by using busy roads; and she was great, by the end she had the confidence and knowledge to do that. He could not conquer his fear, she could.
