You think anyone should be allowed to ride a bike without training. 2. Anyone wanting to drive a car should have bicycle training as a compulsory part of obtaining a licence. So it follows that the only people properly, or formally, trained to ride a bicycle will be the people driving cars, very few of whom would ever ride a bicycle. And what is this training about? Is it in bicycle mechanics like starting and stopping and such, which either all need or none do, or is it roadcraft? And if it is roadcraft, is that how to read others, or is that how to behave? If it is how to behave, then will your trained riders know what the untrained ones are going to do? Considering that the problem is to solve drivers not knowing what cyclists are going to do, why train people who are not going to cycle, but not train those who are? Exactly. Would make more sense to insist bicycle riders have a driver's licence. At least that way they would get the bicycle training. :-) theo |
