American here. I ride with a gun. Seriously.

I fucking hate it, but people like this are everywhere and nobody's helping a cyclist.

    And if that driver also rode with a gun?

    Then you get your gun a gun, I think. I don't know, I'm European.

    Understand the sentiment. I only ride on the little reserved infrastructure there is or on quiet roads. Motor vehicles still use the cycle path anyway, bicycle jousting seems like a solution when you get passed by an idiot on an electric scooter going 80 kph on a narrow path.

    Actually, Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I’m from Texas. I once witnessed a guy who took a lady cyclist right of way, nothing much you may say, but I got my gun out and shot a hole in the car’s motor the size of a bowling ball. An eye for an eye, thought him a lesson I tell you. Alas, this altercation was witnessed by the police, and I was arrested for aggravated assault. Seems the female cyclist didn’t have the right of way after all. I write these lines from prison, but I would still vote for Trump in the next election.

    Hilarious.

    My decision to ride armed was finalized after being followed for 5+ miles by a jeep full of large dudes yelling physical threats at me for riding a bicycle.

    I had to hide under a bridge until they got tired of looking for me. Lovely story though.
