Personally I feel there is ample need to make passing a bikeability test mandatory before you can ‘graduate’ to a tonne of lethal machinery. u00a0Being a cyclist makes me a far u00a0 better driver and gave me a head start when I began driving lessons. u00a0This way all motorists will identify with the needs of those on bikes and hopefully be better motorists for the experience. u00a0nnnWe have a ‘PlayStation’ generation coming through onto the roads now with an obsessive dependency on smartphones who have no comprehension of that government driven myth called road safety, this I’m sure is only going to result in more waves of ‘accidental’ deaths nnSO BORED of car death complacency! u00a0Wake up government…please!

I know one of their dispatchers is a cyclist too as I gave him a cycle lesson (I’m an instructor)nWell done for this, maybe they can dig themselves out of their hole and make us happy too.

Good to hear all that.nnI’ll definitely come down for the cycle training sessions. David is said to be excellent and even old hands such as me can learn stuff. nOn the app front, make sure you get a handlebar mount for your smartphone. And don’t use earbuds when riding…

I’m flattered you think I am young enough to still be an exec, I am actually the PR manager and have got the budget signed off for the cycle training, so it’s 100% happening whatever Stuart says. We’ll be inviting Carlton to attend and believe it or not John Griffin has said he might join us too.nnNot that it really matters but I am a cyclist -u00a0 I was a weekend rider,u00a0 but this whole episode and meeting Dave and Carlton has encouraged me to start commuting during the week as well.nnCarlton thanks for the tip on the Bikehub app too, very impressive.n

“What you do in the dark will be brought to the light…” u00a0With eyes on the conduct of this public target, they will have to AT LEAST go through the motions of living up to their spoken words.

PR stands for public relations. PR is more than just media relations and Addison Lee’s PR exec knows he has to deliver on his promise. nFor sure the cycle training could be just a PR stunt, aimed at the media, but there will be lots of eyes watching. nAddison Lee has started the ball rolling. This is a Good Thing. From small acorns big oak trees do grow.
