I still keep coming back and asking why can you ride a pushbike on the road without having to do any formal training whatsoever? Hell even a 16yr old has to do a CBT for a 50cc ped. Which at least teaches, road positioning, life savers, shoulder checks etc.

What do you need training for when the government let's you hire a bike no matter how inexperienced, how inebriated or how well you know the roads in a global metropolis and will enable you by ripping up half the cities roads that incidentally no local cyclists bother with and cause untold congestion and pollution in the process
