I'd not dispute any of that. I guess it's the singling out of one type of comparatively dangerous activity over others that's puzzling to me. The majority of the site covers disease outbreaks, vaccines, etc. - which is quite distinct from general safety advice. If we agree inexperienced riders hiring bikes on holiday is a risky business, presumably we can come up with a pretty exhaustive list of other activities that are equally as dangerous (Cycling through the London rush-hour, for example, I can vouch for!)… why are these not listed?
I've not really got a bee in my bonnet about this…  …honest. ;o)
