I'm riding in the gutter and still I get mowed down by a car!
If playing that game doesn't make you nervous, you are not paying attention.The older I get the faster I was0 -
:shock: I just got a taste of what it's like to be a nodder!
I see them all in a new light now. Never again will I get angry if they wobble straight into my path or push themselves to the front of the queue at traffic lights.0 -

So, the conclusion is that you're all terrible cyclists.

It's fun but I just don't ride my bike like that. Plus there was no sprint button to get you out of danger/chase other cyclists after the maneuverFood Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -
What a crock. Has about as much to do with safe cycling as knitting. So all cars will just plough into you regardless?1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

I (just about) remember my cycling proficiency, I just don't see how this adds anything to practising in a school playground or on a quiet road.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

It's lets the people doing the course say they've covered riding on main roads when they actually haven't?0 -
It's aimed at a younger audience.
When I learnt to ride on the road I was 10, and to be honest, the cars were a bit like they are in that little game.
It was all about having loads of space to do your manoeuvre as far away to a car as possible. They're not expecting you to deal with three lane heavy congestion, filtering etc.0 -

I get that, I just don't think it gives any real insight into what it's really like to execute those manoeuvres. It's only one step above a diagram.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Everything's done on computers guys.
It's to replace the diagram .

I think someone said "Hey! Kids like computer games don't they? Let's make one to teach them cycling safety". It smacks of trying to be down with the kids and I doubt the average 10yo raised on XBox et al will be much impressed by something so clunky.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah!

It's more interactive than a diagram, isn't it?
And it's shows the when the sequence of things happen during a manoeuvre.
No kid thinks "OMG, this is better than CoD" about anything in school, nor do they need to.0 -

I tried the first task. That's why I don't attempt any kind of computer games. I am complete rubbish!0
