Damn, M. Too bad you couldn't get to that pepper spray. I had a few run-ins with those little bastiches in that area over the years I used the SARTP. They never got the jump on me and even if they did, none of them would have fit on my bikes to ride them away. Get an old road bike, convert it to fixed gear and continue your commute. Don't ever let those little creeps win by keeping you from doing what you do.
