It's amazing how ingrained cycling is in the Dutch psyche - every time they turn right into a side street they look over their shoulder for bikes - it's hammered into them in their driving lessons. The UK has a long way to go with cycle awareness.

Yeah I agree.  I'm amazed that they don't drive home the lifesaver look in driving as they do in the motorcycle test.
