Safety inflation
I saw a new version of the safety sticker on a kid's bike:
==================== WARNING! Do not ride bikes at night! Do not ride bikes when it's wet outside! Always ride with an ANSI, Snell, or ASTM approved helmet! do not stunt or jump with this bicycle. Read and obey your Owner's Manual! ===================== "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? -- - Frank Krygowski |

Europe is the killing fields -- don't use it as a yardstick for what is or is not safe. https://nltimes.nl/2016/04/12/nether...u-hurt-traffic Remember Thalidomide? That was a European thing. QED. I've actually known people who died. It was tragic and could have been avoided had they lived. -- Jay Beattie. |

Good thing they didn't mention riding on snow and ice :-) |

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: http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/photo...warning-labels Bicycles get special treatment, though. 30 years of propaganda have been used to portray bicycles as insanely dangerous. -- - Frank Krygowski |
