Do you carry a weapon?

[Soup890]

When cycling at night or on a dark trail. Just in case you get attacked by an animal or somebody.

Attacked by an animal? How dangerous are these rabbits and squirrels? Someone should inform with great haste the DailyMail!!!!!

 

[Markymark]

No.

 

[JoeyB]

Nope....too much weight

 

[Mugshot]

Yeah, these

 

[Markymark]

What about wild boar?

You carry a wild boar in case you are attacked?
Chapeau

It is 100% effective, thus far.

Is that because you can't leave your house, you know, cos you've got a f*&^ing wild boar hanging off your bike??

Don't be silly.

It could be on a leash...

Well err no because it's a) illegal and b) bloody daft in SW London (I am not riding across the Serengeti)...I suppose in extremis I could use a mini pump, multi tool or tyre lever (assuming I was riding "equipped" ) or just cycle faster than the animal (in a zig zag of course if it were an alligator lol)

Jesus is my weapon

 

[Markymark]

It is more who would mess with a bloke who rides a bike carrying a wild boar?

So it's not concealed then?

 

[nickyboy]

Mini pump....bog all use for pumping up tyres so gotta use it for something. It could also be used to inflate my wild boar balloon in case the real one I carry escapes

[QUOTE 3156002, member: 259"]Ivor Cutler used to recommend carrying two small pebbles, which you could insert in the animal's nostrils if you were attacked by a leopard.[/QUOTE]
Isn't it risky getting that close to a leopard? Or do you also need to carry a couple of McDonalds straws to use as blow pipes and hope your aim is spot on. I reckon if you hit a leopard between the eyes with a pebble, it may get miffed!
