But I've ridden in all of them, always unarmed. I've ridden in most neighborhoods in Youngstown. The worst crime I ever encountered was to have a cyclometer swiped, once in Poland Township, once in Ireland.

Andrew, you've certainly been here long enough to understand the ancient Usenet recommendation to trim content except what one's responding to.
I notice that practice has faded. We have posts that roll on for screen after screen after screen, six or seven responses deep. But trimming is still a good idea. As always, a person can scroll upward to see what was posted. Usenet doesn't forget.
