I saw a new version of the safety sticker on a kid's bike:

Do not ride bikes

"Do not ride when it's wet outside" is new to me. Apparently puddles
are now deadly.

I'm curious: Does this sort of nonsense get stuck on bikes in Europe?

Not ime.Â* Are pedestrians and bath users also warned about the dangers
of their activities?

No, they get no warnings - or at least, very few. But this is a country
where inane warning labels are everywhere. It's easy to find examples:

Bicycles get special treatment, though. 30 years of propaganda have been
used to portray bicycles as insanely dangerous.
