Lots of good thoughts on this topic. Cheers
I'd love to participate in further riding training and refresher courses BUT , the reality is that they only seem to hold courses in the main centres and there is no attempt to get to provincial centres. If there was a course 2 or three times a year within an hour of home, I'd give it a crack more often. It would also be nice for an instructor to let you know if they aren't going to turn up.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
a bit like the 2 areshats on harleys that were leaving the Long Drop rally at Duntroon this morning , just past Kurow at the Waitaki dam there is a stretch of road works with a one way bit controlled by lights, these two clowns went through the red and appeared around the corner in front of us us we were moving off on the green light, lucky for them i stopped and let them past, if it was your usual chinese tourist in his white corolla up that way they would have been toast, then everyone would say fucken cagers need to learn how to drive
To cool for school will never go away, it's reaching those who hang with the arse hats but are actually quite smart.
Manopausal.
The challenge for providers is to get enough people to attend. It's a chicken and egg situation. If enough people were keen to do a course to make it economically viable, a provider would set it up and run it.
Historically though, I'm aware of a provider who set up 8 courses in an area over a summer but had to cancel 5 of them due to a lack of interest by people.
Having the demand meet the supply is the challenge.
That's the same problem we have with, for example, the other kind of cyclists (bi). The roads aren't safe so they don't use them so when we go out to measure numbers, there aren't any, resulting in no/insufficient capacityon the new/improved/safer road. Unfortunately it is chicken and egg, perhaps some targeted advertising to get a minimum of 4 then wider advertisement to make up the numbers?
PS apologies for not responding to you about an earlier research thread. We are in the business case world so all very theoretical.
It's nout to do with broken zips to me.
i've found at times riding along then thinking if i'd left a pocket unzipped, maybe a wallet sunnies phone etc has been used on the side of the road or at a stop, or all three, so get worried i might lose something as i lost a wallet this way once. sometimes it's not east to pullover then the mind wanders from the road worrying and that's not good
simple answer i've done is some coloured pipe cleaners from the two dollar shop looped through them, then it's easy to grab and check with gloves, no fumbling, and close on the move, also can be seen in the mirror and then you've got an answer so you can get back to concentrating on the road
