Agree entirely but to extend coincidental car and bike ownership to a motoring oriented organisation speaking for cyclists is a stretch too far.

I own a cooker and a car, does this empower the AA speak for me on culinary matters?

Gas or electric?

Dual, it appears

They(AA) were owned by British Gas at one stage.

well if we're in a cooker frame of mind I got my fleabay bargain Falcon big bertha last week. The oven doesn't have the 6 different modes of the latest model, but since I only use "getting hot" mode and have got flumoxed in the past by "which bloody setting makes it come on" this isn't a great loss, especially as I've now got an extra two grand in my pocket compared to a new one

James Herriott had a hand up a cow's arse and nothing good ever came of that...

Point of order: it wasn't actually the cow's arse, although it may have looked that way.

From the good man himself “There is more to be learned up a cow’s arse than in many an encyclopedia”

I do the tyres at least once a week(helps you see anything that may cause problems). Wheels, depends on what I've ridden through.

This new book could be of benefit to cyclists too young to hold a driving licence and who are unlikely to trawl through the Highway Code for the parts solely applicable to cyclists.
Perhaps.

Only if they've learned from their mistakes on the previous one they were going to bring out. It's aimed at adults though.

Too many "should's" replaced with "must's". John Franklins Roadcraft came out shortly before it.

Having read those excerpts is does seem a bit rum.

Cyclists to young to drive are unlikely to either join the AA, or go hunting through Waterstones for their publications.

In a statistic I've just made up 76.4% of drivers haven't a Danny what a mandatory cycle lane means, an explanation would have been helpful.

It's that line some councils paint down the edge of the road, where everything ends up, so that they can say "we're giving you somewhere safe to ride your bikes".
