We could discuss that woman's case in detail, I suppose; but from all 
indications, our timid tricycle rider lives in a fairly nice part of 
Florida. He's mentioned having to deal with women pushing kids in 
strollers on his bike path, who (gasp!) try to say hello to him. It 
doesn't sound like "the hood."

I'd bet that if he tried to ride my normal route into and back from the 
city center (using a motor to help climb out of the valley, of course) 
he'd be absolutely terrified. For more than one reason, come to think of 
it.
