Yes, but you'd never notice as I cleverly blended it into the natural lines of the bicycle

This thread is as confusing to me as it is when people talk about weapons being used to defend your home. From where I am sitting right now I have several heavy objects and a 4ft lizard within arms reach and a burglar comes in my bedroom right now he's getting a face full of hoover. If for some reason I am on a ride and someone tries to rob me for the £3 in coins and my bike, I am going to hit them with my bike.

You're doing it all wrong. Take the 4ft lizard with you on the bike. If he sees a squirrel chances are he's going to eat it, Problem of getting mugged by gang of teenage squirrels....solved.

Unfortunately the lizard is a herbivore and extraordinarily lazy so it is more likely that he would join up with the squirrels and use his two and a half foot spiky tail as a speed trap for them in exchange for nuts.

I'm sure it would but doesn't it get rather hot in a gimp mask @marknotgeorge ?

My leatherman is a bit smaller than that :laugh:
A gimp mask? What's one of those?

It's like a buff for special occasions

Ah, I understand. Special occasions like cycling? Because I can see that riding in the normal style of buff would get one's weapon caught in the spokes.

I looks like someone's thrown my coat out of the door. Again...

I don't think it's a bad idea to have some protection wherever you go. A few years ago I was victim to an unprovoked attack while out on my bike of two pitbulls on a busy public path. They destroyed my jacket and bit me numerous times before i managed to sort them out (then the owner). I think it's a good idea to carry something for protection, since statistically, dogs attacks are quite common in comparison to other animal attacks, and any idiot these days can buy a dog. 186 people a year are attacked and/or killed in dog attacks.
