I am a Road Safety Officer who works for a county council. At present we train about 3,500 children a year in safer cycling, but we offer nothing for adults who may be returning to cycling and that strikes me as odd to say the least.
Things have changed markedly since many adults did their Cycling Proficiency as children: just as a for instance, we no longer teach people to ride virtually in the gutter, and the idea now is to take up a position which claims the lane whenever it is appropriate.
Obviously, I'd need to make some sort of business case for offering training to adults, so I am asking here whether it might be something that would interest you. Any training would be either free of charge, or provided at a very small cost. My idea is that we ought to do something before riders get killed, or seriously injured, and we then try to shut stable doors after horses have bolted etc.
Please tell me what you think. Thanks in anticipation
