This is why I put 6 pounds of C4 on my bike at all times
According to someone I knew in intelligence, a bicycle was used in a successful assassination by utilizing the tubing as a shaped charge that was detonated as the targets vehicle passed. Could be effective.
I think you are referring to this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Herrhausen
Not the framing itself, but the bicycle was the decoy for the shaped charge
Quite possibly! He told me this twenty years ago when I asked him why he was telling me to vary my route. I told him I'm not a target for assassination, though 🤣
Always be unpredictable. It could save you from getting robbed or mugged.
That's what he hit back with! Including kidnapping! I was 16 at the time, and he was a family friend. He was having drinks with my folks and told me he had seen me three times that week at the same place and time. I still think his work made him a bit paranoid, though.
It’s hard to get out of that mindset once you’re in it and you see what people are capable of.
Only 6?
Don't wanna make the frame too heavy during the commute
