It's nice to hear directly from someone with training experience. Indeed, I agree that a reasonably competent cyclist can benefit from short and focused training. And yes, a 93-page manual is way over the top for just about anything to do with bicycles. :-) Hi Bob,

As a result we see more and more Officers using their bikes to patrol rather than using the car. A reasonably competent cyclist can attain level three easily over a six hour training session. 93 page booklets are totally unnecessary. up here in North-West Lancashire (Blackpool) we train both Police Officers and Community Support to National Standards Level Three and without doubt every trainee has benefited from learning how to become part of the traffic flow rather than sitting on the periphery,their words not mine !
