I hope that is a typo!

Have a look at the related video: "Do you ride safely?"

I wasn't impressed - I can imagine some people reconsidering riding
tomorrow after watching that, with the long list of 'hazards' they
mention (including carbon monoxide!), and then followed with lots of
chastising and reprimanding of cyclists in general... Hardly a huge
encouragement, even if it is to try and get people cycling responsibly,
blah blah...

Hope they have a disclaimer to save them from liability for that last
one.
