That's a typical response from you, Andrew. You found _one_ scary story, 
out of how many peaceful, unremarkable nighttime walks every day around 
the world? You can't really be pretending that incident is 
representative of the actual level of risk! How many attacks per million 
nighttime walks do you think actually occur?

That's aside from the fact that the timid tricyclist specified "foreign 
country." But Phoenix is in _this_ country. I'm pretty sure the foreign 
countries that I've visited have all been shown to be safer, on average, 
than America.
