I can understand the merits of learning road safety, it is a wise thing to do, but no amount of cycling training will stop a careless motorist behind the wheel, we need safer roads for ALL cyclists. Some roads can be redesigned, wider paths should be the norm when built. Once bikes have an infrastructure, less cars and public transport will be used prompting more money being spent on bike infrastructure and the cycle will continue. So far this year we have had 8 deaths on the road and many others with life changing injurys (another one today), it's time for a change. Lets look to the other countries that have done it right, not to people who think cycling proficiency is the key to the future of London bike safety.
