This is a good idea for anyone that wants to protect theirself without carrying a weapon on them.
What you need for this is a bike with a quick-release seat post (the kind with a little lever that frees the seat and tightens it), and a knife with a blade that will fit inside the seat tube that the post goes in. First, you will need to take the seat post out and cut it down with a hacksaw so it is as short as possible. Next, make the knife handle fit snugly inside the seat post. You may need to shave some off of it, or add tape but make it stay in there good. Then, you just put your new seat post/knife into your seat tube and you have a quick-release consealed knife. You never know when something like this will come in handy and its good to know you have it with you.
