But if Cycling is going to be more common then we need people to make themselves visible. It is quite scary at times driving at night trying to avoid cyclists dressed in black with no lights. when i worked in Rotterdam people wore brighter clothes and if we didn't have decent lighting then the Police would jump on you. Cycle safety lessons in schools and simple training sessions in roadcraft. As a driver i pay insurance, have had to learn the highway code and pass a test. When you look at a significant proportion of cyclists you can see that they don't care. With proper training and roadcraft would we have lost so many cyclists killed when lorries turn left? Yes we need more cycle tracks but they need to avoid the heavily polluted main roads. putting cycle lanes on the uxbridge road where it is not fit for people to breathe who are walking is a bad step for health. So cleaner emissions from buses, vans etc.. so important. When i worked in town i saw a couple of accidents with Boris Bikes and also several near misses. If we are going to encourage cycling then we need lessons in schools for starters
