Yes, fleeing a would-be mugger is the best option on a bike. But as Doug said, what if they block the path? What if they approach while you're locking up your bike? I'd rather have a gun on me. There are handguns small enough and light enough to be easily portable on a bike.

It's too bad CCW is illegal in DC. Because if it were legal and these little hoodlums tried this, the cyclist could hold them at gunpoint till the cops show up.

I'm an Obama-loving semi-liberal and don't even own a gun, but DC is the only place I've ever felt threatened in and the only place I'd ever bother with a CCW if allowed.
