This is probably the strangest "cycling specific" product I've ever seen. Competitive Cyclist is marketing the Kimber PepperBlaster as pepper spray for cyclists. Not, like, for use against cyclists, but for use by cyclists, against angry drivers, for example. Alrighty then! If you feel the need to carry some of this in your jersey pocket at your next training ride, get it here.

i guess this is one of the must unneeded products ever? way to go, on helping to make matters worse between cars and bicycles, kimber.
My guess is that thing is mostly intended for use on dogs that chase you while cycling.
Much more frequent of an event outside of the city.
...or a group of 13 year old gang-banging wannabes taking their rites-of-passage.

well, competitive cyclist seems to think this is intended for use against drivers. that was quite a diatribe.
I was hoping this would be like a Clif Shot.

After my recent incident, in which I was physically grabbed by a passenger in a car while riding, I've been thinking a lot about arming my self with some form of self defense. It can get nasty out there. What I really want though is to set up a camera with time lapse that can record the license plate of every car that passes me.
I see a potential new variation of biathlon with bikes, pepper spray, & cardboard cut-outs of dogs. Count me in.
is this the carbon fiber version of ulock justice? that rant about guns was not so awesome.
I'm sure it provides for a level comfort for folks who commute by bike alone in the dark in cities across America. I would consider this as a gift for my girlfriend because I worry about her riding alone in the dark.
However, I wonder how I can spray it through a windshield at cars that go 40+ mph about and inch from me and not crash into shit at the same time.

Technically, that's one word and one abbreviation. But, you know, whatever, you're the one with the gun.
