Concealed Carry While Cycling and Mountainbiking

[imschur]

My latest dilemma is a way to carry while cycling and mountain biking. I have been carrying a Kimber Pepper Blaster right on my bars but lately recent events from the locals have me wanting to carry pistol.

My concerns mostly involve critters since I generally ride off the beaten path. I also crash alot..and hard...on rocks. I usually just keep my P22 in my pack.

Shoulder holster might work,with a retention strap.

I have a large fannypack, works very well for this

Imschur, what did you end up going with? I've been averaging ~ 80 miles a week. My routes are not very private and while we have open carry in Michigan; I don't want the extra attention.

For now I just keep it in the spare pouch on my CamelBak.

I know - waaay old post!

@imschur, what did you end up with?

I have a sling bag that has a Velcro lined rear compartment that has my EDC secured in it. the bag has a few other items, crackers and a Gerber multi-tool, an EDC wallet that holds a small folding knife, space pen and O-Light, a decent pair of Walmart readers sos I can see things in my hand 😁, and now that I am thinking it, there is a small spiral note pad and pencil that needs to go back in it. Pens are great but....

There is also an unused front most zippered pocket that is for my wallet. Phone can fit almost anywhere. Though I don't bike or run or walk much (I know I need to), the idea is one easy to carry small bag to grab on the way out the door no matter if I am running to get the lovely bride an ice cream, or we are headed out for a longer trip - this has the minimum of what I need for up to half a day or so, and has my Bersa Thunder 380 Plus w/spare mag.

 

I have also been known to stash a handheld radio in the main compartment - there is a surprising amount of space in this little bag - as long as you are sticking to essentials...
