I thought the same. I carry bear spray on backcountry rides but have often thought I'd like to have something better than whatever pointy stick is closest if I run into a bear on a local ride with no easy means of avoidance.
Carrying bear spray on the shore sketches me out. I feel like the odds of me crashing and rupturing it and blinding myself or something are a much higher risk factor than a bear encounter, lol.
I always forget about bangers and don't know much about them. Something to look into. They come into my yard and I can tell you, they could give two shits about people yelling at them. Does not work at all.
