I cringe at the thought of the vast majority of cyclist deaths and injuries that are caused by a lack of cyclist education, which is ultimately caused by a lack of concern in the cycling community about educating cyclists, which is instead cringing about relatively minor problems over which they have little or no control.
Jeeze... another over the top statement about cyclists' education while totally regarding the lack of education by those piloting 4000 lb vehicles on the roads with impunity.
Regarding cyclist education... of the 700 or so killed last year, how many were experienced verses inexperienced? Is there any data available on cyclist experience or training verses accident rate?
And how do you plan on reaching those inexperienced cyclists with education programs anyway?
