One of our first Bikeability trainees ... loved his bike, wanted to ride it every second, and had to stay calm by whistling to himself when his instructor was talking. A few months later, he appeared next to us at a set of traffic lights in the town centre. He stopped in pedal-ready position, made a face at the traffic camera when the lights changed, and sped away, held his lane, made a life-saver check, executed a perfect right turn and rode away home through the industrial estates of Rotherham. A beautiful sight.
