Completely agree that training ought to be compulsory for cyclists.
Another issue is cycle lane markings at some junctions that seems intended to put cyclists in harm's way. There are several places on my route to work in W12 where a turn-off to the left has a dedicated left-only lane for traffic, but the cycle lane continues to be marked as such right up to the stop line/ASL. You then have cyclists intending to go straight on, riding up the inside of traffic turning left.
