I’ve just successfully completed the Safe Cycling Infrastructure technical training course run by Safe System Solutions. Why did I do this training: Each year in Australia around 40 people riding their bikes are killed and more than 4,000 are hospitalised in road crashes. Riding a bike is a sustainable, healthy and socially equitable form of transport, and we need more people riding. Unfortunately, unsafe infrastructure is a major impediment to many people riding. We can design roads to be safer. We can reduce the chance of a crash, and the severity of any that still occur. This was an intensive online technical training course with theory, coursework, and a field exercise where we put our skills into practice.
