Pepper spray protection is the most popular self-defense tool of choice for both women and men. This is because pepper spray protection is convenient to carry, easy to deploy, and effective at stopping attackers. It is legal in most states.
Pepper Spray Training
In order to maximize pepper spray's protective capabilities, anyone who owns pepper spray should take pepper spray training from an expert. You can find classes in your local yellow pages. Look up self-defense classes, martial arts trainers, community programs, public law enforcement classes, and so on. There is a right way and a wrong way to use pepper spray.
First and foremost, if you draw your weapon, you must use it. Pepper spray is not a scary looking object, even though more and more people are beginning to recognize it. If you aim the canister at an attacker, immediately spray. The spray will discharge in a stream or foam, depending on your model. If a stream, wave it back and forth in a tight pattern, directly into his face. Empty the can on him, keep the can, and run (if he somehow recovers quickly and sees the unspent can, he could use it back on you.)
Secondly, know how to release the safety so that you can use it. On canisters, the safety is a pin or lock that you pull. On rings, the safety is a latch on the side of the ring that you pull down with the thumb of the same hand you're wearing it on.
Thirdly, get to know which direction to spray. If you spray the canister backward, the results could be disastrous.
Once you know how to use pepper spray, you can walk with greater peace of mind and personal security.

Installing New Pedals
So you got a shiny new set of pedals. Now you face the challenge of installation. No worries, installing new pedals yourself is quick and easy and will save you the additional cost of a bike shop. We've outline the steps required for first timers or those needing a refresher course.
You will need the following
Pedal Wrench and/or Allen key (depending on your pedals)
An old shop towel (paper towel will do too)
Cotton Swabs
Grease
Removing the old pedals:
Put the old shop towel (or paper towel) under your workspace just in case. Place your bike on the ground over the shop towel, or if you have a work stand, all the better. If you're using a work stand, place your hand on the rear wheel or grab the brake to stop the wheel from spinning. Yeah, I know, no brainer, but sometimes you forget!
Be sure to shift the chain on to the big ring before you remove the pedals so you don't cut yourself on the chain ring teeth. They are sharp.
Now you can remove the pedals. Your right pedal will come off just like any other bolt system you've used. Turning the spindle counter-clockwise (left) will loosen the pedal. No problem.
However, the left pedal is reversed threaded and will need to be turned clockwise (right) to loosen. This is so you don't inadvertently unscrew your pedal while riding. It makes sense, but can get frustrating if you don't remember that the old rule of lefty loosy righty tighty DOES NOT apply when you are dealing with the left side pedal. Too many have made the mistake of not reading that part and then get frustrated when they tighten the left side so tight it requires a hammer to remove it.
(Even if you are turning the correct way, don't be surprised if you need to put your shoulder into it; water and time may have removed the grease which will cause those pesky pedals to stick.)
Side Note: With pedals like the Look Keo Carbons you won't use a pedal wrench. These pedals require an Allen key that you place in the spindle from the back side. If you have a cadence magnet in there, be sure to remove it before you attempt to remove the pedal.
Installing the new pedals:
So now that the old pedals are off, it's time to clean out the threads on your crank arm to remove any dirt or old grease. This is where the Cotton Swabs come in handy.
Once it's clean, you get to muck it up again with the new grease! Place a strip of grease on both threads of the pedals. After they are greased, put them on, but only use your fingers to catch the threads and tighten them up to your crank arm. Don't use the tools until they are sufficiently finger tightened. And again, remember, the left pedal is reverse threaded. Take your time and you won't strip your crank.
After the pedals are finger tightened, take out the pedal wrench (or Allen key if that's what is needed). Snug the pedals up to your crank arm (typically ¼ to ½ of a turn is tight enough). Once firmly in place, use your old rag to wipe up the excess grease and you are ready to ride.
After you've taken her out a few times, check the pedals again to ensure they are still nice and snug against that crank arm. And if you do a lot of wet weather riding, it's a good idea to remove the pedals to give them a little more grease from time to time. If you've ever had your pedals seize to a crank arm, you'll know why it's worth the extra effort.

Is there a chain ring for a one piece crank that is compatable with a 9 speed chain?
I have a Shimano Deore hub with a 9 speed cassette that I want to mount on a cruiser with a single chain ring on a one piece crank. Obviously I need a 9 speed chain and so with it a compatable chain ring. I don't want to lose the one piece crank, so ANY solution that allows me to keep the one piece I would be interested in hearing about.
Shimano 9 speed chain is compatible to any single speed crank!
