Around here there is the potential to be assaulted, I suppose. Mostly I'm afraid of traffic. I've been riding on roads, had cars come up behind me and pass me with minimal clearance. This is on a regular road, not really wide, but not narrow by any means and I felt as though I could reach out and touch the side of their car as they passed. If I wobble at all, I would've been toast.
