Just a > ton of stuff I learnt that would never have occurred to me. My 'natural' argument? I never used the word so I guess you're referring to the bit where I say 'biking is by its nature more dangerous than driving a car'. If you don't or can't accept that I wish you lots of luck in your future biking career. > But if you've got evidence that such nanny statism runs counter to your > facts, please tell. I've got nothing against additional training so long as it's optional but even with all the training in the world the death/serious injury figures for bikers will never reach parity with car drivers. Which was my point.
