In Holland if someone tries to steal a bicycle from you the only defence you have is pick your bicycle up and trow it at the thief.

Yes, I have done this and it works very well. The guy was so suprised that I trew the bicycle at him he ran off and I could go on. Only had some paint damage. I might have to add this wasn't my mountain bike and I was just to naive to stop, asking for directions trick,

Hehehe...that's almost as good as the time here in KL when this robber tried to carjack this bloke's car at the traffic lights. He ran up with a knife and tried to open the door, finding it was locked, he started waving the knife at the guy and screaming for him to open the door. The guy looks at him. calmly reaches into his glove box, pulls out his service revolver and shoots the robber dead.

Moral: Try not to carjack an off-duty cop at the lights.

Knife fighting? I remember sitting in a lesson given by an unarmed combat instructor for the Australian Armed Forces.

He basically said, "if you find yourself in a fight with a guy with a knife, run. If you can't run, throw everything you can at him and then run. Don't try and fight, or grab the knife, because in all honesty...he'll end up stabbing or wounding you."
