Btw I got menaced by a tweaker on my way to work so loving the bike much less People keep telling me to buy a gun It’s not a reasonable thing to tell a person BUT it is directionally accurate I found self defense classes instead of just going to Walmart and buying gun

How did you get to work before? It’s a shame that we prioritize things like private car travel over keeping our streets safe and protecting vulnerable populations. It creates a situation where riding a bike is good for society but bad for individuals. This has been enraging me the last few weeks, actually.

Met a couple recently who had a very close encounter with a grizzly while hiking in the Canadian Rockies. Bear mace saved the day. Maybe consider bear mace to go along with self defense classes. Add a little spice to the tweaker’s life if need be.

mace is pretty cheap and easy to carry and you won't accidentally shoot your self with a bullet

Dang sorry bike already spoilered and cognitive load of constant safety checks so costly Tae kwon do was my gun alternate 🫤 back in the day and punching/kicking bag training underrated lol. Now live in a small rural college town and (almost) never think about personal safety #tradeoffs

I’m reading those replies and I feel worse and worse. It’s so crazy that this is becoming a reality in many places. My entire adult life I used to go out at night and walk back home by myself at 3am and I’d think nothing of it. It’s crazy that these days you seemingly can’t even be safe during the day much less at night.

What an awful situation, I'm very sorry to hear you had to experience any of this. On a side note the "only in America" conversations it sparked in the replies were truly fascinating. Again, I wish you didn't have to experience this kind of nonsense. Hope all is well. 💛

I've taken a few self-defense classes as well, and they did so much to boost my confidence. Enrolled in a couple of weeks jiu-jitsu as well. I keep pepper spray on my bike, and I feel pretty good about that setup. Enjoy your classes!

I think it's important to prioritize safety, but using a gun may not always be the best solution.

I’m sorry to hear that happened. Good call on the self-defense classes! They can give you skills and confidence without the potential dangers of carrying a gun. Plus, it's empowering to know how to protect yourself in different situations. Stay safe out there!

Sorry to hear about your experience. Self-defense classes are a great idea for feeling safer without jumping straight to buying a gun

I'm really sorry to hear that you had such a scary experience. It's definitely important to prioritize your safety. Self-defense classes can be a great way to feel more empowered and capable of protecting yourself. And while buying a gun is a personal decision, it's always good to explore all of your options for safety. Take care of yourself and stay safe.
