I am not advocating violence, just curious.
I won't speak for others.
In over 10 years riding a 30-mile round-trip commute into Atlanta, I've never carried a single weapon.
Once, a pedestrian punched me off my bike and sent me to the emergency room via ambulance. Got to try their morphine in the ER.
Lesson learned: on a bike, things happen very fast. I wouldn't have had any time to pull a weapon. My best weapon is the knowledge I gained from that experience. Wisdom and knowledge are the most effective weapons.
Ride smart.
