Nah. It's really more the high school and younger college age kids that drive recklessly around here, although certain adults can be belligerent when I'm on my bike. My apartment is on a windy, hilly road, and not uncommonly people drive way too fast and end up upside down in a ditch. Scary since I walk along that street all the time!
All that is to emphasize that anyplace can be "dangerous", but many people tend to overemphasize the dangers of unfamiliar places and to forget about the dangers that are close to home.

Yeah, I'm the bike person too. Just joking about the 'redneck' thing ------ though I perfer them to 'white trash' ....... on the grill - with chianti. Thankfully my town (Chico) is extremely bike friendly. It is amazing the amount of violent crime we Americans have become used to. Always shocking to watch the news when we return from our 2 months in Indonesia. And we always get such warnings from friends before we go. Something to be said for places with bows and arrows, some local palm wine, and no methamphetamine. And again Jos - great writing and report.
