Umm, ride away at 30mph?
You're on a bike, can go faster than someone on foot, and can go places someone in a car can't.
Use your guads!

Why not use bear-grade pepper spray mounted to one of your bottle holders? That ought to be enough to fend yourself from just about anything.

I don't understand the idea of carrying a weapon on a bike. If you are on a training ride I suggest you don't travel through dangerous neighborhoods. If you're so paranoid that you need to carry a weapon get professional help.
The only possible reason to carry a weapon is if you have to commute on a bike and the route is dangerous.
Thanks, Mike.

Dismissing the jokes, I will never carry a weapon. If it gets to the point that I NEED to, as the other poster said, I will find another hobby. But I will say that I do carry a little can of pepper spray. It's mostly for dogs and such, but there are psychos out there and it's a great non-lethal compromise. Batons, stun guns, guns, etc. are a bit of an over-kill.
Um. That's pointing the wrong way.
And please explain the fish.

Surprised nobody has made a reference to the guy who carries a bad-ass, very lethal switchblade.
