Sad
Today I heard about a young boy (13) who got knocked off his bike and died, just a few streets away. I feel really sad about that. I was chatting to my mum telling her just how bad it can be out there (probably worrying her senseless in the process) and saying if I find it bad with all my experience then what chance does a kid have? Then I said something about being in the wrong job and she said something along the lines of maybe I should become a cycle instructor. So I'm going to look into that. Not a change of career or anything that drastic, but wouldn't mind doing a bit of voluntary stuff for local schools/parents... one2one tuition for kids riding to school etc. Anyway, sent a few emails off, will see what I get back.

Best of luck with that.
It might be worth giving Trio25 a yell off cyclechat and asking her what courses she took?
Thanks for that, I will.
I think some kids need the instruction ...and their parents need a slap around the head for giving them the bike and just sending them straight out without so much as a talk about safety.
