Minimum weight for a can of bear spray is 8 ounces; that's why cyclists don't tote them outside of serious bear country. They are also about 8 inches long, it's like a canteen that won't quench thirst and expires every 4 years.
Seem to cost about $50, compared to around $15 for quality OC.
This size and weight means hikers also need to buy sturdy holsters for them.
I have pistols that weigh less than 8 ounces, such as the P32, and if I ever did encounter a bear I could get rid of it just be fumbling for my camera.
A small can of OC spray is a nice supplement to the gun, in case somebody stops you and hassles you without lethal force, such as kids and small dogs that you don't feel like killing today.
Get two identical portable cans of OC spray, and practice drawing and hitting targets with one, saving the other for emergencies. Accuracy matters.
Carry whatever gun you like, for the same reasons you would carry anywhere else. Small black fanny packs are common among cyclists, as are black shorts.
Just an OC and a P32.
