Aire Street in Leeds has a ton of good spots to ride thats not the issue, however it’s home to the 5th worst postcode in the UK for crime. Predominantly robberies and muggings. Sat alongside the river Aire it’s generally bustling with office workers and commuters coming to and from the train station. At night though it turns into creepy rat run for thugs and vagabonds. You have to keep your eyes pealed in an area which on the face of it looks quite nice.
