Just left a comment on that post....
Yeah, there is a thread/meme around on the internet/blogs that includes but is not limited to ideas like:
-Cycle groups have "failed" to bring about mass cycling. Only seperate infrastructure can do this.
-Cycle training is like Helmet promotion in that it suggests thst cycling is not safe without training
-"Vehicular Cyclists" are a cult like group that resist any and all attempts to introduse infrastructure on the dutch model
-Cycle training ameloriates the conditions of on road riding and as such collaborates with the maintainance of the status quo with respect the preeminence of the car.
For my self I will say that I became a cycle trainer as a response to my frustration with cycle campagining... The way I see it, we are just quietly helping those who wish to ride to do so as well as encouraging new generations. I only read Cyclecraft after about 30 years cycling in London and I could see, at once, the value of the advise therin.
