@ancient_catbus i'm sure this would work. saw a similar phenomenon when a man was crossing a street with a baseball bat in hand, and he was not dressed as an athlete 😂 everyone, cars & pedestrians, gave him a wide berth

I've had the same effect when carrying juggling staff's. :D

I put them in a shoulder-slung martial-arts-weapons bag, and got a lot more space on the tube, and when crossing the road. :D

Though when i was in Scotland, i kept getting into conversations with people who did fly-fishing. :D
