I never thought of using my water bottle as a weapon . . . . . are batons heavy? I wonder if they're illegal here. I'll have to check with my cop friend.
I think most dogs will back off if I just get off my bike and act aggressive. I have a very protective German Shepherd, but I know if somebody actually had the nerve to bark back at her she'd probably run off with her tail between her legs. It wouldn't hurt to have some sort of protection, though, for those unusually aggressive dogs.

I carry the 'fogger jogger' in my Bento box always, altho it has a hand strap. I've never used it; putting the bike between me & the dog, & yelling, has worked fine in all doggie showdowns so far.

These pepper sprays are very scary. My hubs accidentally got the tiniest bit on his hands once & he barfed terribly just from a few breaths. Maybe it was just power of suggestion tho, as all his mucous membranes were, so far as I know, unmolested....LOL
