Default Birmingham cycle strategy consultation

I was sent this link yesterday about a consultation exercise about the
proposed cycle strategy being drawn up by Birmingham City Council.

http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/Generat...4&EXPAND=12047

or

I've not looked at the full document yet but the web page lists the
following as they key objectives:

# Work with school children, staff and parents to encourage more
cycling to and from school.
# Continue the improvement of cycling accident statistics through road
safety education and training.
# Work closely with TravelWise affiliates and the Be Birmingham
Partnership to raise the profile of cycling.
# Develop and implement a Strategic Cycle Network across Birmingham

which look pretty good to me.
I'm not sure if that's a prioritised list but it's interesting that
building cycle lanes isn't top of the list which seems to be some
councils' solution to everything cycling. I wonder if the 'education
and training' will be just for cyclists or whether it will be for
other road users as well.
