@Clwydian"A lot of money is being spent training kids who will never realistically ride on the road and a lot of money is being made by organisations managing to sell this training to LA's and councils as essential for every child."
Im not sure what you regard as " a lot of money", but I can assure you that other than maybe a very few commercial providers there isnt much money being made right now,
and the cull of free flowing funds that has been enjoyed for the last 2 ish years will sort out the wheat from the chaff.
In perspective overall provision of this part of schooling still costs peanuts in Governmental spending, that is an argument about priorities.
Additionally, youre comments raise the question of what is essential education for children?
tommorrow I will be delivering 2nd of 3 level 1 control skills sessions to 8 year old kids at a school in Poole, Dorset.
The enjoyment, physical activity and alternative learning they get from it is unique, any teacher worth their salt knows this.
@J.C
I started the link between B.C and Sustrans Bike It schools doing Go- Ride in 2008 in Luton, Bedford area.
Has been slower here in Dorset but we have B.C area Coach delivering Go Ride in the area now, and Link to Bike it schools starting early 2011.
