I do a lot of biking in the summer and i am trying to figure out how i can ccw on my bike.
Any thoughts on holsters etc while bicycling?

I'll continue to always carry my folding lock blade knife inside my shorts pocket for some kind of defensive weapon if needed.
Dedicated cyclists will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to pare a few pounds, or even ounces, off of the bike, so it makes little sense to do so and then carry a 2 or 3# gun.

I ride a bike and am not too comfortable with anything extra around my waist. You might try a half-zipped pocket on one of the tight fitting bike vests.

Very true. Sometimes I will be looking at these jazzy $5000 bikes (and they are wonderful!), and then along comes some old clown like me, gets on it, and rides away. He could shed 20 pounds at a lot less expense, and it would do him more good, than that fancy $500 stem and handlebar set that saves him, maybe, 2 ounces!![]()

But, hey, the guys running the bike shops, and the workers in the factories making the fancy parts, love it. Hobbyists of any sort are not known for making a lot of sense.![]()
Yeah, it's kind of ironically funny, the old fat guys (like me) seem to be the ones who can afford those high-end carbon-fiber/titanium wonder-bikes
