Can we fix it? Yes we Khan!
Not by changing the roads, or junctions where bikers are getting deaded, oh no. No, not that. You're not cyclists.
We can fix it by offering a couple of hours of training to Larry L-Plates to keep him alive.
I wonder if either course covers how to deal with a bike-jacking?
Anyway, I shall award One Internets to anyone who manages to successfully find, book and complete either of the two real-world courses.
Oh, same problem as pointed out by coppers running the BikeSafe course that I did: the people most likely to do these courses are the people who least need to do these courses. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Beyond CBT: Skills for Delivery Riders
[1-2-1 Motorcycle Skills]TfL say this course is aimed more at commuters and riders of lower capacity machines.
Wait so can I do it? |

It is a queer pitch. I assume they mean eternaL-Learners, but don't want to come out and actually say it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

As I was going through Slovenia on my way back from Croatia, on a dead straight road connecting two villages, I overtook a car with some speed to get back onside before an oncoming bike got too close. Naturally, I also waved to the bike.
Turned out it was Policija who gave me a wave back, despite me doing ~60% over the limit right in his face. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 175 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
