    Not that I would advocate violence of any kind you understand, but I thought this was funny.

    Similar idea on the Fixie Inc Peacemaker. Personally I think it's very stupid, you are giving yourself something you could potentially impale yourself on in a crash and what's more likely, a car driving into you or you scratching a car when you try to get through a tight gap?

    Yeah it doesn't do cyclists any favors and like Blorg says those are just pure dangerous. It definitely reinforces they "militant" cyclist view which I don't think anyone on a bike wants to be associated us.

    I'll stick with my Kalashnikov thank you very much!

    I've accidentally brushed off cars the odd time when trying to squeeze in between stopped traffic. If it wasn't for rubberised handlebars, I'd be left with some awkward explaining and possibly a repair bill...

    Man, that's an excellent idea :D

    I remember we used to hit each other with those things on the way home from school on the bus when we were young, even a decent tap left you with a huge blue bruise!
