Shame the cycling fraternity are so quick to go on a witch hunt.
I really don't see much wrong with what he said, verbatim in context.
Some degree of training for any road usage should be mandatory, that is common sense.
Then I also think riding a bike should be part of the driver instruction process where possible.
Every time I see a cyclist whipping along on a new carbon hard-tail with a couple of young kids straggling thirty feet behind, I wish there was some kind of legislation to address that directly.
The logical extension of cyclists' rights overruling all others is allowing them to ride four abreast on the motorways, bringing the country to a relative halt.
Wait a minute, that sounds cool!
