As a cyclist I’ve noticed a, harshness, recently. In Ontario our premier did a distraction campaign where he villanised bike lanes. Turns out he was talking about a couple of specific ones but all of the sudden, after biking in town for years. People nearly hit me. There is no Lee way any more. I’ve been swiped by mirrors and pickup trucks try to roll coal on me (pretty sure you little dicks need a diesel and your just fucking up your engines for nothing) because I like a bike ride on a sunny day. Or want to stay in shape. Or need to get to work. It really does feel like “get a haircut and drive an f150!!!” around here and that wasn’t always the case.
I’m a 2A friendly American and even I say that’s absolutely not a good idea for this scenario. The person you’re replying to is either trolling or needs serious help.

Not Just Bikes made a video on that. https://youtu.be/KgFCQ7jEZxI
Strap a visible gun on yourself or a bag. That’ll get you some extra space. Saw an article or post about someone who did that and it’s like magic.
Why is the American reaction to every single issue “just get a gun”???
As infants, we’re given “bottles” in the .22lr range. By 4th grade, were sucking 9mm straight from the tap. It’s onto .45acp by highschool…

Specifically in this instance, the type of people who roll coal on bikers are also people who automatically respect people with guns.
Canada does not allow open carry, and handguns have heavy restrictions on use and transportation
May I humbly propose an alternative…

In another video, one was demonstrating how easier it was to cross streets with the same accessory.
I’m Ontario that isn’t legal.
Without a gun, a brick would be a fine stand in
