However, the "serious faults" (relating to cycles) section is quite
amusing, in a sad sort of way. Apart from the pathetic "loose hub quick
release levers" (Ooh, well..it'll take some fixing...)

Well, that is a serious fault if it isn't noticed and fixed.

I've agreed to take over the CP scheme at my school when our current
instructor, a parent, hands over in a few week's time.

I've now received the various manuals, which make generally quite
depressing reading (I can see me coming to blows with the Essex CC
RSO).

I know why only too well.

Are they still promoting cycling deficiency? With their "improved"
course. Ha!

If you want proper National Standard info then contact me. I live in

It might be an opportune time with a change of 'parent instructor to try
and introduce NS training.
