I've done Bikeability!
I read Martin Porter had done a Bikeability course, and thought I'd find out about it (http://thecyclingsilk.blogspot.com/2010/07/my-cycle-training-session.html).
Went to http://www.bikeability.org.uk/ and had a one-on-one session organised for the weekend, in double quick time. I paid £15, and the instructor turned up with a fab free gift of £40-worth of Kryptonite lock!
Anyway, I commute regularly, so I was delighted to get a general pat on the back from the instructor, with a warning that my hand signals could be clearer, and I should look behind a little bit more frequently.
For a two hour investment, I'd recommend it to anyone. My best value £15 for a while!

Sounds like good value even without the lock
