    Of course all stereotypes are questionable, including this one. It is best
    not to mess with strangers in any case, but to imply that a "young Dominican
    guy", especially in the company of his friends, is homosexual is to invite a
    blood rage. Strangers have been shot and stabbed dead in the street for far
    less.

    This is the one thing that concerns me abt doing a solo
    bike tour

    I worry abt idiots seeing me alone on my bike out in
    country and robbing or beating me up

    Advice?

    Life is fraught with dangers! This sort of thing could happen anywhere.
    A good friend of mine was beaten sensless in Bruselles by some wackos
    while he was locking his bike. I've ridden across the deserts of Nevada
    alone on fire roads and met some strange characters who would have
    scared me under normal circumstances, but were actually great folks
    looking to help.

    Just ride. But maybe take some pepper spray for dogs and crazies if it
    makes you feel better.

    If you saw "Hoboken Hollow" you might think twice too. Or for Europeans
    "Hostel" Both had to do with outsiders in the country.
    Australia it was "Wolfe Creek" Anything I forgot?
    do not go alone or even in a group Arrgghhhh

    Most criminal types are looking for easy scores when it comes to
    mugging. Studies have shown that people with a confident walk,
    attitude and demeanor are less likely to be victims.
