Since the effective cycling program isn't being taught anywhere, suggesting it as a factor - even if massive selection bias in a four decade old, non-peer reviewed study is ignored - in reducing cyclist crashes is purely a semantic fantasy.
It's certainly accurate to consider "the whole program some kind of big joke" - Especially in regards to a discussion about the ill-considered bicycle licensing schemes.
