Trouble is, there's no such thing as a cycling test, which is blatantly
obvious when you observe the behaviour of cyclists.

=v= I suppose that if we were to undergo testing then we could
then aspire to the sterling achievements of motorists, who kill
and maim far greater numbers of people and destroy communities
and ecosystems far more effectively than bicyclists do.

=v= Which just illustrates the problem. Communities and
ecosystems are destroyed by cars, but it's nobody's fault.
Nobody's fault at all. It just sort of dimwittedly happens.
