Make cycle awareness a core part of the driving test

years. On the cycling side of things they should re-introduce the cycling proficiency test at school, it could be easily incorporated into PE of even just a lecture on the highway code etc.

It always surprises me that people who are interested enough to say that cycling proficiency should be brought back are not informed enough to know about Bikeability or that fact that Bikeability, the far superior, and on-road, successor to cycling proficiency is taught in hundreds of schools.
As for being 'easily incorporated' it is generally taught in year 5 and 6 but is very hard to get senior schools to schedule it. Most primary schools cover road safety as a general topic but not in ways specific to cycling and safe cycling can only be taught on road anyway.
I would love to see safe cycling integrated in to schools curricula but for the time being Bikeability is doing a pretty good job.
