Pressurised lighter refill containers work well. Just fit a generic spray can head (WD40 etc) to it. A bit like having your own Napalm dispenser.

Countryside riders targeted by bike thieves amid record lows in police detection rates

If their balaclavas are made of flammable material, they'd ignite and stick to their faces while burning, similar to how flaming tent material would stick to skin and continue burning (body fat can be a good fuel), before they were made flame-retardant.
Balaclavas seem all the rage in Swindon - he could switch to using covid masks.
Alleged bike thief banned from owning balaclava
A HOMELESS man has been banned from owning wire cutters and a balaclava after he was accused of stealing two bikes in two days.

And yet another stabbing and e-bike robbery in Swindon.
This was early evening (i.e. it was dark) in one of the less salubrious areas of town. Luckily the victim was discharged from hospital fairly quickly.
God knows what these ratboys do with these e-bikes with no chargers.
I like to think that none of this really effects me, I am a recreational cyclist who only goes out to nice places on nice days, although I now leave my wallet at home and just carry a little cash in case I want to stop for a pint/coffee/ice cream.

Just hand over the bike and say have fun finding the 10 trackers, otherwise i will see you in an few hours with plod en-tow.
No Really just hand over the bike, its a bike your a person and your well being and life are worth a lot more than a bike.. Anyone daft enough to mug you for a bike may well be stoopid enough to stab you too.. DONT RISK IT..

I wouldn't tell them if I had a tacker(s) installed as bike is then likely to end up in the canal out of spite. Let them take the bike then track the down with a cpl of the boys in tow.
Lifted from another forum:
It’s illegal to carry anything for the purpose of self defense. However, it’s not illegal to carry a home made mixture of peppers/chili that would hurt an attacker providing it isn’t for this purpose.
Perhaps you want to carry a very spicy dressing because the sauces at Subway/the chippy just don’t do it for you. You carry it in a spray bottle so that you can evenly apply it to your sandwich or burger. A court would have a hard time convicting you because the standard of proof is innocent until proven guilty. Where is the proof here?
I like carrying my own homemade sauces. I don’t carry them for self defense, I carry them to use as sauce. The last time I checked it isn’t a crime to carry sauce in the UK.

I am always amazed by the stupidity of people, really.
Years ago there were public information films, 1960/70s, remember to cancel your milk when going
on holiday, remember to cancel the newspapers, BE SEEN BE SAFE WEAR LIGHT COLOURS AT NIGHT
These days idiots post on facebook when and where they are going on holiday, Strava, "please feel free to rob me I'll be here at this time !, and so on.
NO at 65 I have never, ever fallen for a con, I was brought up with common sense.

What about when you were conned into having a crank-drive drive motor instead of a hub-motor? That con worked so well that you haven't even figured it out yet.
