"I think the writer calling for concealed carry for cyclists facing violent motorists is on the mark.

Watch out drivers, if you try to hurt (or more likely kill) a cyclist you may wake up in the hot place..."

You see, this kind of talk is worthless. If a motorist decides he's going to "kill" a bicyclist, not even Richochet Rabbit could pull a gun out of his fannie-pack fast enough for it to do any good. Bicycle riders with guns in their fannie-packs will be able to defend themselves from muggers and other idiots that threaten them from the side of the road, but you're fooling yourself if you think a bicyclist can defend themselves from a Yugo even if it approaches from behind at 45mph.

Yet a firearm may have protected the individual who was attacked with the hatchet in the news story you posted.
