What's going on down in the kennet sq area that's not going on up here in the conshy area?
Since 1979, I've been riding a wide swath of roads and paths, from CC philly as far west as trooper, including commuting for a few years between roxborough and CC phila, in the dark even, and haven't ever felt threatened enough by anybody to even consider carry anything.
Unless it was common knowledge that highwaymen were ambushing and killing bicyclists, I can't imagine what kind of situation here in southeast PA would warrant carrying a mohaska.
Pepper spray? How slow do you ride that you're going to pull pepper spray and hit an assailant who is, presumably, going as slowly as you are?
