Do you carry a weapon?

[up hill struggle]

I just rely on my sparkling wit. As such I've been beaten up quite a few times now.

now I just start to just strip naked, while the attackers are busy throwing up at the sight of my naked body I make my escape.

so far its worked a treat, of course so far I haven't been attacked either just done by the police for indecent exposure.

There's this great thing called google

Yeah, but what did you type in to find that?

Hmm, @vickster, you did seem to come up with that photo very quickly. Suspiciously quickly.

Never thought about carrying a boar with me. I take a goat

You are Taylor Swift AICMFP

This thread is actually refreshing and the way that weapons are looked at with cynicism and humour is brilliant.

It is however much darker and sinister in the US

A typical US cycling forum thread for the same topic would have discussed the best gun, best concealed way of carrying and the best ammunition!



Lets stick to fruit and similar

I'm yet to watch the video, but in many areas of the states self defence can be a valid concern whilst riding a bike. I wouldn't want to be left to fend off a bear/cougar/coyote/wolf with a mini-pump.

You might stand a chance with a Renn Kompressor though!

The problem for me is that the US Forums are very light on animal threats in the discussion

I get my former partner to run in front of me when I ride. In the event of a threat she simply sucks the life out of them and takes most of their possessions, while simultaneously getting a bit fat.

Still, at least you're not bitter.

thread killer right there.....

Actually reading that I realised that I do carry a weapon!

On a recumbent a fast rotating front chainwheel does some damage if you run into it......

Do you carry a weapon - or are you just pleased to see me.
I overheard this at The Old Wild Boar in Chipping Sodbury when the Polish cycling team were in, they just smiled and said they were poles.

A couple of years back I posted a video from a US forum that showed three cyclists having a row with an old geezer in a pick up that ended with him reaching for the rifle hung behind his seat (a common site).

Doesn't that Bear Grylls tell you to stick a tube up yer bum in an emergency.

Reckon that will work.

If someone wouldn't mind trying it and reporting back. There's a love.
