Yes. I should have mentioned that. ( the studies)
The official Dutch studies are written by an organization called the
FietsBeraad. ( literally, the 'Bicycle Advisory')
Anyone interested can check out their website and studies at their
KennisBank: http://www.fietsberaad.nl/index.cfm?section=Kennisbank
If you load the pages into Google Translate, you can read their Dutch- language publications.
I hope y'all find these interesting...
One caveat for interested ThinkTankers... the Dutch do speak English,
but they insist that you learn to speak their language if you want to
be taken seriously here.
I was told by an English-speaking head of the local Bike Lessons
department of Amsterdam Noord, that next year when my Dutch is good
enough, I might be allowed to attend the
National Bike Lesson Professor's School.
(Yes, it exists here.)
This is the paradox, of finding a way to teach immigrants to ride
bicycles....TOO efficiently:
If all the immigrant Moroccans get on Gyrobikes and learn to ride in
half an hour, what will the Bike Professors do with themselves?

Would be interested to know what those studies have to say - perhaps
that's a source of more ideas.
- Could try structured classes, possibly in conjunction with rides,
covering basic maintenance and ride safety.
- Depending on funding, youth employment in the shop
