It makes them safer, including when driving near cars. Lobby for no training if you want but don’t pretend like it doesn’t help.

Do you have evidence it helps? What course?

Obviously more training can help. For example it would be useful to practice riding in the rain, ice, and wet leaves. But at what point does more training not help? When will you be safe?

Riding a bike next to cars is inherently unsafe. When a car hits you, you are ducked. There's a limit to how vigilant you can be and most riders accept it's a when and not an if.

Note motorcycles have mandatory training but still have 10x the death rate.

Motorcycles do not have mandatory training in Ohio. Just a written test and quick obstacle course. Temp permit is just a written test.
