More New Cyclists (not necessarily "on the road")

[johncarnie]

I live in Stratford Upon Avon, and on my walks and rides I've seen many more cyclists out and about. Many are fairly obviously new or returned, but have been riding on roads (and pavements) that are relatively quiet. Now traffic (and pedestrian numbers) is slowly increasing in volume (but not slowing down) these cyclists are not as aware as long-term cyclists on the vagaries of the average motorist (and wandering ped). Oh for the days of the ease in which you could go for the National Cycling Proficiency Test!
I did mine in 1959 and have been learning to ride properly ever since?
