I think it should go further. Future car and motorbike users should both pass this and have a period of cycle use on the roads (disability permitting) before being allowed to apply for a car/bike test. Not that it would ever get off the ground as it would be difficult to make people comply. It makes sense though.
To be fair, even my son who has a Bikeability level 2 badge is not ready to go out on his own. Is a car or bike rider ready just because they have passed a half-hour test? Testing of proficiency doesn't go far enough IMO.
