Off Topic: Historian, on your blog I saw you complained of hand numbness. I have a touch of arthritis in my hands, plus they get cramped from operating a keyboard and mouse already, so I got some of these to put on my bars: https://www.treefortbikes.com/97_3332...h-Bar-End.html
I love them, great for transferring some weight off my ass to my palms too, if I want to lean heavy on the bars for a few. Don't know if something like that would help you, or if your bar setup would be compatible. Thought I would mention it here tho, since I'm not registered to post on blogs. Well I did at one time, but forgot what my login details are :/

I mainly keep the spray for dogs. A quick burst of atomized spray will deter the dog and get him away from you. Having the spray for humans is an added bonus.
