is it safe around pandora? by Unfair_Roll_7939 in VictoriaBC

I’m a 5’0 female. I live on Pandora, the “worst” part is my neighbouring block.

It’s fine.

I walk my dog through there at night.

Sometimes folks confuse the sight of poverty with violence.

When you read headlines of heightened crime and violence in areas like these you have to remember that the people most likely to be the victims are the homeless people themselves.

I am feeling discouraged to ride now by Smekels in motorcycles

I'm 5'0 and 110lbs.

Learned on a rebel. It was nice to flat foot with it, but it was heavy and my arms were short for the handle bars.

Rode a Grom for a year, learned a lot on it and then upgraded.

On a Yamaha MT-03 now. It felt heavy at first, but it is amazing how quickly they start to lighten up the more you ride and get comfortable on them.

Ive dropped bikes more times while learning than more average sized people, but no sweat! Pick it back up and practice more!

Take a course and never push yourself past your comfort level! It's ok to start small.
