I respect traffic laws. Have ridden in big cities and never had a problem with motorists.

However I note about 85% of cyclists in my area totally ignore traffic laws: red lights, stop signs, yield signs, wrong way riding, etc: it is like they are riding in an alternate universe.

Yes I carry when I ride, not for the motorists, but for when I get off the bike and must conduct normal everyday activity. Ankle and waist carry are awkward and difficult on a bike, so go to shoulder holster or pocket carry.

Check your six.
