I've felt a little vulnerable at times riding deserted gravel paths. Every time I get a little creeped out, I say I'm going to order some pepper spray as soon as I get home. I never do though. I think I will now. I figire I need two small canisters, one on the bike, and one on my person in case I get knocked off the bike. Maybe a small knife too.
