I wasnt really sure where to post this but I know Ive seen some stunning pics from China so its LOOKS fantastic place to cycle. This article makes some disturbing claims though, a word of warning, I only watched one of the videos and it was pretty shocking

Regardless of the article, human life is not as valued in some other countries as it is in Britain.

Someone dying here can be quite shocking, elsewhere it can be not so surprising.

In Kenya I saw a man holding on to the side of a bus killed in a collision with a car. Neither vehicle stopped. No one attended the body. Everyone carried on regardless except for the traumatised cycling Brits.

I can give you more stories from South America.

If you want to travel abroad, I'd recommend preparing yourself for some quite alien mind sets.

As to your own safety, I would recommend being reliant only on yourself and take or reject risks accordingly.
