As we enter an unfortunate period of increasing crime rates in Los Angeles (Public Policy Institute of CA), it’s more important than ever to be prepared while you’re on the bike. On the bike we are sometimes more vulnerable to agressive drivers or others. It’s important that self defense tools are quickly and readily accessible. The jersey pocket is not always optimal, although it’s an option. Here are ways to mount two types of less than lethal options, pepper spray and extendable baton. Check your local laws regarding their use.

The extendable baton can be mounted under the bottle cage in a pump mount. The Lezyne pump mount combined with the ASP 16” baton is a sleek combination

The pepper spray canister can be mounted using Gup brand tire sealant mount. It will accomodate most medium sized pepper sprays.
