Cyclists on pavements is a symptom of how dangerous people perceive the roads are for cycling. 

You can't seriously expect parents will want their 8 year old to "share the road" with an HGV.

It doesn't matter what training you get, a too-close overtake by a large fast vehicle would scare anyone shitless.

The answer isn't to tell kids or grannies or whoever to "man up and grow a set", or tell them to get into cars or buses if they want to use the road, it is to sort out the road system to make it more welcoming for people on bikes.  In general, the road markings, signalling and design in London simply hasn't been designed with any real consideration for people on bikes.
