Thanks. The book is now on order for $9.42 including tax and
shipping. If I decide to weaponize one of my bicycles, it might give
me some ideas on what can be done.

If my bookshelf collapses from being overloaded, it's your fault.

Incidentally, one of my friends has recently morphed into a "prepper"
and "zombie apocalypse" enthusiast. He's outfitting his ancient
Stumpjumper with survival supplies in case the SHTF (s**t hits the
fan) in case he needs to "bug out" quickly. (Sorry, but I'm just
learning the lingo).

So far, I'm impressed with his thinking and suspect that my efforts to
weaponize one of my bicycles will follow his example. Eventually, the
bicycle manufacturers and custom builders will discover the prepper
bicycle market, release similar products, and pollute the market with
innovative but impractical designs.





Oh great just what our industry needs, more overpriced crap
marked 'TACTICAL' only because they are matté black.
