Everything about this artifact is a “wait, what?” kind of deal:
* A gun that fits inside the handlebar of a bicycle
* A world where a big concern of bicyclists was being attacked by dogs
* A world where the appropriate response for a bicyclist being attacked by dogs would be to pull a gun out of their handlebar and start shootin’

@jalefkowit "an angry dog that decides to chase after you and attack you on your bicycle" respectfully in my experience it's an angry dude in a truck.
@mhoye Yeah, when I am on my bike I am ten thousand times more worried about every single car than I am about the entire animal kingdom put together
@jalefkowit @mhoye the pickup truck era handlebar pepperbox is a 75mm recoilless rifle
@jalefkowit Top comment is top.
@jalefkowit I have a friend who bicycles in West Virginia and dog attack is still a concern there.
@jalefkowit The Belgians have a peculiar fascination with gunsmithing going back centuries. It even runs in the family, perhaps https://littlegun.be/collection%20privee/belgique/be%20abcde/a%20be%20desmedt%20gb.htm
