Broader discussion of details new programs might teach can occur where the basic idea of a cyclist knowledge and skills for in-traffic road use program passes beyond reactionary rejection. Not many people seem to want to think outside the box that presumes new programs for improvements in cyclist road user knowledge and skills must oblige oppressive enforcement and/or exorbitant fees.
Demands made that even consideration of ideas for a new program offering cyclist knowledge and skills for in-traffic road use programs be supported by statistical proof that past cyclist education programs have increased cyclists, or vehicular cyclists safety, signals unwillingness to even conceive of or consider details related to a new program.
