re Red Herring's commment (Mar 9th):
"Regular riding with other members of any IAM group generally provide all of this (review and feedback etc) as well."
is not necessarily true.
While you can compare yourself against/ to other riders, feedback is often only provided if it is requested pre the ride (unless it is a gross stupidity you peformed).
To receive feedback when it has NOT been requested can be demoralising, unless the offerror is VERY tactfull.
For car drivers, the oportunities are less.
