    Risk of what? Getting run over? It’s actually better since 2:30 AM = less traffic. Getting assaulted and/or abducted? Good luck for would-be criminals catching up with you on foot. Even if they’re in a car, they usually have to get out of it in order to do their stuff and that limits them to running speed.

      You’re an idiot. Criminals see patterns and take advantage. If i walk through the same streets and park every night and they see me every night they can easily predict my behaviour and take advantage. I have a decent paying job, plenty of money and a vagina. I am at risk. Grow the fuck up.

        Most criminals are capitalists.

        Most people who commit crimes the police would consider crimes are drug addicts, poor, or preying on people they already know - like spousal rapists and pedophile priests.

        Since you don’t have to worry about the third category any more on a bike than in a car, that leaves people who are poor, desperate, and have compromised judgement. They ain’t setting an ambush and waiting all night to catch you. They’re shoplifting and stealing catalytic converters. Your hoo-hah ain’t a bank vault.
