So.. for the record.. if I were learning to operate safely on the streets today.. where would I find good information? Just asking, as I still see huge numbers of unsafe riders on a daily basis.
So obviously all those Forester training programs are working quite well...
Until cycling is taught in schools right next to math and english... we will always have "unsafe riders." Even if cycling were taught in schools, there is no guarantee that people riding bikes will do so in an accepted manner.
