Q: Ask your hotel or guest house concierge or other trusted people where it is safe to go and to warn you of places to keep away from. Some important things to keep in mind include:  Avoid going anywhere that is isolated, that is known for drugs, gang violence, etc. (ask so that you're aware!). Don't go into the central business areas of main cities at night.  Always take taxis at night. As with most places, it is important to take sensible precautions when using ATMs and credit cards.  Keep your PIN covered whenever using an ATM. Use ATM's that are in well-lit areas and not isolated. If people try crowding around you, leave that ATM and find another one. If there is any commotion at the ATM, leave, or suggest that people seek help from the bank - con artists can try any sort of distraction to part you from your money. Don't let any payment by credit be made out of your sight. If a merchant tries to do this, demand the card back immediately and either find cash or don't proceed with the transaction. If it is a restaurant, go up to the payment counter and insist on seeing the transaction being performed. If you're worried that your card is compromised, contact your card provider immediately. Don't flaunt your valuables. Leave the expensive jewellery at home, avoid accessories or bags that are too flashy. Lonely Planet even recommends not wearing watches, no matter how inexpensive. Place all valuables and your passport in the hotel safety deposit box. Even then, place items inside sealed envelopes or lockable containers to prevent staff theft. Dress down. Speak quietly. Don't attract unwanted attention by being overly loud or brash. Avoid looking at your guidebook or map in the open. Duck into a shop or café to review where you're heading, as this will make you appear less vulnerable to any potential thieves who would take advantage of the fact you're new in town. Keep bags well-held, never wear a wallet in your back pocket, and avoid carrying too much cash on you. Wear money pouches hidden well under your clothing if you need to carry a lot of cash, and put cash in seperate areas so that if a potential mugger found one lot of cash; they won't think you've more stashed in your other pocket, for example. Keep cameras in your shoulder bag rather than around your neck.
A: Avoid visiting places that are known crime hotspots. Be cautious when using electronic payment systems. Take the standard travel precautions for not looking like a tourist:

Q: If your bike is in use for a commuter item, a basket is both adorable and useful. Bike baskets range in material from wicker to wood or plastic, and come in many different sizes. The frequency with which you use your bike will help determine what basket you need to purchase, as some are affixed with delicate materials such as leather. Altering your bike seat can provide a fresh look and a bit more comfort for your rear end. Leather seats lend a vintage look to your bike, while gel-pad seats add a massive comfort factor. Colored wheels, spokes, shocks, and handlebars can all help decorate your bike. You can even have different colors for all of your bike’s components for a rainbow effect. You can change the shape of your handlebars altogether, or you can use tape, crepe, or paint to change the general appearance of your handlebars. If you do alter your handlebars, make sure you do not do anything to interfere with the brakes. Finally, add a delightfully childlike flair to your bike by adding streamers to your handle grips.  Streamers can be created with old plastic bags, strips of fabric, or even old pom poms. Commercial streamers come with small clips that are inserted into the ends of your bar grips. If you make your own streamers, you can fashion your own clips to attach them using supplies from a craft or hobby store.
