And no one tells them either... the politics of LAB and LAB reform are a joke, and getting any form of knowledge out to any cyclist that might actually need and use it is stifled by the very advocates that try to define "what is a cyclist."
Until LCI et. al. are able to approach young learning cyclists at or near their first introduction to bicycles... all the fancy lobbying and "training" etc in the world is just basically "preaching to the choir."
Yeah, pretty sad state of affairs... folks in wheelchairs are far more organized then "cyclists" will ever be... as demonstrated by the passage of the disabilities act come many years ago.
