The changes I propose a
Page 2, grey background, para 2. Reword sentences 2 and 3 to:
National records show it to be, mile for mile, about as safe as walking.
While accidents can happen, they are ra there have been no child
cyclist fatalities in the whole of London since 2004 (as at March 2008).


Fine


Looks good to me too.

Page 4, green background, para 1. Reword to:
The child should be able to stand astride the bike with both feet flat
on the ground and the knees slightly bent, and when sitting on the
saddle should be able to touch the ground with toes of both feet.


Fine - but perhaps better still:
The child should be able to stand astride the bike *comfortably* with
both feet flat on the ground...


I like Tom's here, it amounts to about the same thing but is much
more concise and easy to understand.

Pete.
