"I thought I'd just outrun the attackers," he wrote. "Wrong. Unless you're going downhill or already have some major speed, they will block your escape routes and grab any part of your bike or clothing to try to bring you down." Since the Middle Ages, men have dropped caltrops behind them as they ran/fled to halt their pursuers.
Modern caltrops, unlike medieval ones, stack on top of each other so that you can carry 20 where before you could carry one or two.
Silent and entirely legal in every jurisdiction. Depending on where you live worldwide, other more lethal options may also be available to you.

Better yet, carry a pocket of packets that appear to have crack cocaine inside. Just throw the packets on the ground and they will be down grabbing as many as they can.

I did a search to see what caltrops were. The would be effective, but I see Texas made them illegal in 2011.
