Do you carry a gun while out on a ride?
(I'm not going to be posting here for a while --unless requested--,
but in case you are not protected by the revolution soon, here's some practical advice so you can survive under the worst conditions) Well, it seems that self-defense sometimes calls for a gun, and there are plenty of offenses committed against cyclists out there. I'm not advocating violence at all, but it seems that, of all places where the gun may be necessary, the cyclist may have the most pressing need for it. Almost as much, let's say, as a pump and a multi-wrench tool. So let's hear from the pacifists and the NRA people alike... .... I think a water gun would be a good option. The guy may suffer from a heart attack, but then you respond with a random act of kindness and spray his windshield. That would teach him two lessons: Not to mess with the cyclists and that we are a friendly bunch! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the Jungle http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote |

Or maybe a launcher that splats unpleasant goo down the side of anything that passes too close. If someone pulled a gun on me when I was driving I'd flatten him. |

All guys carry an on-board liquid supply with a user actuated flexible delivery system. Demonstrate real man fitness, jump onto the hood of the car and perform the windshield cleaning ritual. It is sure to be a YouTube hit. In fact, we can host a video contest, judged like any Olympic level event. Height, distance, flow, color, pattern and grip style are all considered in the point score. It will be the cycling version of the ever-popular bull riding on Versus. Will windshield wipers serve as reins? Bruce |

Do you carry a gun while out on a ride?
(Some people may be surprised that we in America have the need to
carry a gun when riding a bike, but then we should remind them the bicycle has a place in violent places) Originally Posted by evan_phi (from Canada) "jeeeeesus 8-ballin' christ..." Why are you surprised?? Bicycles were iniatially set up for WWI. And I believe the special commandos still use them... http://www.combatreform.com/atb.htm See, Iraq seems to be a bike friendly place --provided you carry the right guns. I always love the James Bond music, don't you guys? |

(Notice I'm accused here of promoting "armed insurrection." Well, it
depends what you understand by "gun") Originally Posted by st0ut "The OP would like to see who carries a firearm to ward off cars( that in his mind threaten him.) He is too afraid to ride and think the only way for the streets to be safe is armed insurrection. In this case the OP should NOT have a firearm. has he views himself as judge and jury. And General of his revolution. Basically he wants to take pot shots and anyone that gets tooo close to him. or yells out the window." You've been reading too much Mao lately... Me, armed insurrection? Oh yes, my gun is a banana. They are the perfect weapon since I can simply eat them, but if you carry it in your pocket it'll look like something else... a gun, you know. Then you can say, "Stick 'em up!" or "Stick it in!" Whatever that shows you a tough contender. NOTE: This is not promotion but I've got a T-shirt that says, "That thing in pocket is only a banana!" |

I've often wondered about strapping a punt gun to the underside of the boom of my 'bent, add the trigger to the hardware on my bars - half a pound of lead shot should grab the attention of even the most vacuous of cagers. True, the reload time for one of these is measured on a calendar, but there's not normally any need to reload, as anything in front of you for about 50 yards tends to quietly evaporate. Some people may think that this is a tad over the top, but, you know, you've gotta get their attention somehow pOB |

Originally Posted by chipcom "I would have a pang of remorse reading that t-shirt after I shot you...but your day would be pretty much ruined." None of your weapons address the predator before he eats you. He flies by you and shouts, "Hey *******, get off my road!" And speeds away. You are left humiliated and powerless, even if you carry a gun. I, on the other hand, have other T-shirt that says, "Hungry?" Then on back, "You can eat my banana!"* I call it pre-emptive strike... Hey, you may even get some chick out there --who happens to be hungry. Just carry bananas. PS: It's not what you think. That's what the monkey told the hungry lion. And guess what the lion told the monkey...? |
