Why would they need to have special classes just for cyclists? Anybody can take these classes.
it might be that having to deal with dismounting and/or mounting a bike, or just having to manage the machine in the process of defending yourself requires an extra finess or moves that are demonstrated in these videos, but not in your average self-defense class. just food for thought.
i looked at the web site and it looks like its marketing a little bit to the american upper- and middle-class paranoiac to me. as it is, i'm not much of a self-defense person.
