Come to Indy and get horn heavy and come very close on me. It usually turns out very bad for your headlights. I am tired of being buzzed by cars so I have mounted a 3 foot fiberglass rod with a 4oz lead ball on the end. The smart people don't stop. The dumb ones get a ticket on top of their broken headlight for failure to yield the right of way to a cyclist.
that rod is a really bad idea and will get you in a lot of trouble... you cant prove where you were when you hit a car,,,so youll be getting a misdemeanor violation,,,or worse if your weapon hits someone in a low convertible
two people in a car say you veered into their lane,,,one on your bike... you lose...
and someone is going to take that stupid stick off your bike and beat you with it...
or theyll just go around the block come back and splatter you with a two liter bottle of pop as they go by at 50 and you cant see them...
when you ride around with a rod and a lead weight hanging off it,,,like a mace,,,youre asking for trouble...
its like a little girl closing her eyes and swinging her fists and saying im not swinging at you,,,im just protecting this space...
thats an epic bad idea...
