Where the hell do you ride your bike that you need pepper spray?
Lets turn this around a little bit, why do you all wear helmets? Its not like you fall and hit your head everytime you go out and ride, you wear a helmet so if and when you crash and hit your head, you'll protect your noggin. Much like carrying a firearm, knife, pepper spray, taser. You don't go out everyday expecting to use your weapon, you have it just in case you do need to protect yourself. And those individuals that go through the hassle of getting a concealed carry permit do not have a license to shoot anyone at their will. It is only to be used as a last resort.
