I've always liked the idea of urban fox hunting on bikes with pistols...

MTB riding with a gun...

Going on for ten years ago now 4 friends and I spent a summer in Canada canoeing the Mackenzie River. It's remote, really remote we went for weeks without seeing any sort of civilisation and even when we got to civilisation it was a bit like "Deliverance" and I was listening for the sound of a banjo. Anyway, we met a group of Americans paddling the river as well. They thought it was amazing that we didn't have any form of firearm given we were in "Bear Country". They had 2 rifles a selection of handguns and an electric fence and warning system in place every night. We had a single skin tent for pretection. It never occured for us to have guns as people who grew up in towns in England we wouldn't have the skills to actually shoot dead a bear coming at us so figured we'd be a liability to each other.
If people were shooting at me while riding my bike I think I'd move to a nicer part of the world...

I've spent a lot of time in America working and a lot of guys used to bring concealed firearms into work. Despite it being a pretty nice suburban area.
It's just a different culture out there not only in the protection from gangsters scene but also they have quite a few more animals that like to nom on humans!

Carrying a gun when on a bike is useless, as already said you either need it to hand which risks injury if you fall off or its in your backpack which is useless when you are being confronted by a mountain lion.
Best form of defence when riding in areas at risk with bears or mountain lions - take your dog. Early warning is the most useful.

Rich later explained cans were not soda or bean cans but Mexi-cans and Afri-cans. Ignorance is bliss.
What about Ameri-cans..?
