  • LCC has equated helmet compulsion with providing cycle training:
    This is on LCC website in a piece about tomorrow EDM ride:

    "However, there are concerns that the Commons debate on Thursday could be hampered by the fact that too many MPs:

    • don't cycle at all or understand the dangers of cycling in many of Britain's streets
    • have never cycled around the dangerous one-way at Parliament Square or other initimidating roads in central London
    • think reducing road danger is just about providing more cycle training or making people wear helmets"

    While educating drivers, who are the source of danger, is more important than training cyclists, an important strand of road danger reduction is promoting benign modes of transport . Training does that well. Many people get converted to riding after being trained/ It also reduces road danger by helping people realise that they can influence drivers by their communication and positioning.

    Please LCC change that sentence.
