OK, now we got to work on a holster that works for bikes. Having them
neatly packed around the thighs make them particularly practical and
ready to draw...

Or perhaps we can make some attached to the helmet, the gun triggered
by remote control from the handlebar. I wished they could be activated
by thoughts and emotions, in which case I'd become very trigger happy.

The model comes with the holster and you provide the gun. ;)

Seems to me that whether the model comes or not depends on how well you
handle your gun.

Some were just getting too serious on this. Glad we brought it the levity
it should have. Now we have to figure out the caliber and load that a
Cyclist can wield without losing control. Of course, you will have to
holster your Cell Phone to use it.

Not if you use my new, handy-dandy combination
cellphone/pistol! When the safety is on, it's a uniquely-
shaped cellphone (admit it... how many others have
phones shaped like guns?); remove the safety and it's
a semi-auto Colt 45! Earpiece located conveniently
at the barrel end, mic below the trigger on the butt...
pull to talk! I'm trying to get *all* mobile cellphone
users to upgrade... the vision of someone driving and,
instead of a cellphone, a pistol at their ear, gladdens
my heart.

Yes, one bad point though. Get the safety switch backwards and you just
might be shooting your mouth off.

I carry a cellphone when I ride. It's for business. In heavy traffic, if I
were to attempt to answer the cellphone I am quite sure that the herd would
be thinned very quickly. I don't see many cyclists talking on a cell while
riding. Maybe they clean up the mess before I can see it but I don't
believe it's a wide spread problem.

Are you also including me when I am riding my rocket powered roller skates?
Not to worry, riding something like that, a cell phone is the least of your
worries.

I would approve of such a thing as long as the model wearing it comes along
with it.

One of those, with the factory mounting bracket as shown,
would work nicely. Of course, there might be a tendency to fumble
around a bit looking for your weapon ...

Personally, middle jersey pocket is my favorite place. I can get to it
while I'm riding and if I'm off the bike I can STILL get to it. The only
downside is that the site wears a little hole in my pocket after a while.
Mine is a short nose so it is fairly well concealed.

A friend of mine used to carry a 9mm and keep it in his jersey pocket or
shoved down the back of his shorts--with the butt sticking out in plain
view. Says when he started carrying it, the cars started to give him a
little more room on the highway and fewer people yelled and threw things at
him.

Yeah, I can imagine you whipping your -piece - out of your middl
pocket while you are sliding up the road and the car that bumped you i
disappearing into the distance. That's if you can identify it while yo
are falling and trying to minimise your injuries and stop running int
stationary objects.

Maybe you could shoot the nearest motorist - that would show them.
