It is on my list and I have to say this takes just a bit of bloom off the dream.
The fact there's one violent moron in an entire country wouldn't put me off. Pick any country and the chances are you'll have a few violent nutters in there somewhere. It's just a question of chance whether you happen to cross paths with them.
Chances are there are at least a couple of people who would do that to you given a specific set of circumstances along the routes you ride every day.
