This is quite an interesting take on the habits of cyclists.

That's a poor video, and I speak as a cyclist and car driver.
Why is an 'advanced driving instructor' showing us an overtaking manoeuvre on a brow of a hill!?
I'd prefer to see more videos educating cyclists to 'take the lane' rather than making themselves more vulnerable by riding in the gutter. This above all else helps motorists overtake you in a safe way.
Edit: Just read that link. Now that's more like it
. Also makes the point of how considerate club cyclists file back into single file when appropriate too, out of courtesy to other road users. That's exactly my own experience of how club cycling works in the short time I've been riding with a club.

will they be doing a lesson for cyclist on how to overtake vehicles and not undertake when they are turning left?
Why do cyclists ride on the road when there is a cycle-path?

A start for cyclists would be adherence to highway code rule 69.
Which is?

Rule 69
You MUST obey all traffic signs and traffic light signals.
Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD reg 10(1)
They get too many holidays.
Why don't they have a straight Pride?
Don't think I've ever seen a cyclist got through a red light. Usually a student or a hipster on a bike.
