Bingo! I looked at a crime map before we bought our condo, which is in one of the safest neighborhoods in Detroit. And I not only looked at the number and types of crimes, but I clicked on the actual incidents. A typical one would be someone sitting in their car at 3 a.m. in a sketchy area is assaulted. Draw your own conclusions, but something like that is not going to affect someone commuting by bike.
