Practical advice on how to survive the UK's roads on a bicycle.
It truly is.
It's brilliant(ly focussed on fit, confident, assertive cyclists)...
...and a sad example of how short-changed we are.
A friend of ours is Danish - comparing her home country with ours for cycling? There is nothing here to compare.
I got knocked off by an overtaking car when riding in the secondary position up a v.wide single carraigeway last year, luckily with just a broken pedal & shaken nerves to show for it, and now look at Cyclecraft a little differently.
Indeed, a great survival manual it is, but the foundations of a better cycling culture and the growth of cycling rates it most certainly is not. The fact that it is treated as such is to the detriment of us all.
