Bicycle carry

[O2HeN2]

I’ve got a female student who is a avid mountain biker. She does a lot of biking in the Monument area where a bicyclist was murdered awhile ago (see link at end).

The only thing that comes to mind for on-body carry would be a horizontal or near horizontal small of the back holster. A fanny pack would work but it’d add a lot of time to the draw.

She’ll be carrying a Kimber Micro 9.

Can the community suggest methods of carry and/or products?

Mountain biker murdered near Monument

Chest mount might work for her, may be less likely to work on a woman though. I just carry normally when I ride, but I'm also not usually in bike gear.

Do not do small of the back. Falling on it would likely cause spine damage.

Fanny pack of some type or a safe packer

Hill People chest pack mounted to a hydro bladder on the back. It would look totally natural, and keep it handy.
But I would worry more about plugging herself when she tumbles off the bike and the gun goes off. Probably small chance but a tumble at speed will produce odd loads.

I typically wear spandex shorts, with a lightweight cargo short of some sort on top, with a regular riggers type belt and owb holster, so in other words I carry the same way I do any other time. Hasn't really been an issue for me, but then again I don't do 60+ miles either, usually 15-20.

Facepalm. Good point. This is exactly the reason I'm asking!

Fanny pack of some type or a safe packer

Seems to me that a fanny pack, especially with a woman's waist, would ride in the small of the back as well...

Hill People Gear was the chest pack I was thinking of.

Something along the lines of a Sneaky Pete on rigger or instructor belt.

Concealed is concealed, sometimes special activities/apparel require compromise.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim

Open carry to dissuade a confrontation in the 1st place.

Actually already talking to her about this. The positives, the negatives and let her make an informed decision.
