Tell me your good Dog vs. Bike stories.
Had a dog run out at me....I did my typical swerve at the dog trick (which TYPICALLY scares them away) and we slammed into each other! He yelped and ran home, somehow I managed to stay up, yet had to limp hone on my busted rim with knees shaking.
Different time, different place....
I was riding merrily along when the dog came sprinting after his owner as he was driving away from their home. The dog saw me and changed course. I politely stopped to say hi to the nice puppy that was growling and foaming with lust for my ankle. Unfortunate for me, that I habitually clip out of the right side first....dog and soon to be owner on my left.
Owner pulls up and, with the calm, loving demeanor of a parent whose child does no wrong, asks FooFuu to go home and smiles at me.
FooFuu on the other hand heard nothing, as it had already scented the salted meat that was my leg.
I asked and driver refused to hold dog.
I pulled out my back up ........ pepper spray.
"Ohhh please don't spray my dog. It won't hurt you."
I calmly repeat my request that they leave the car an detain said harmless pup....who by now has a raspy voice from all the growling and barking and is pacing back and forth in a puddle of saliva.
Driver shakes head and pulls away.
Dog lunges.
Spray activated.
Dog runs home.
Another car drives by as I clip in....swirling pepper spray around my body as it rapidly fills lungs for the sprint away from FooFuu's turf.
Moral of story:
Keep away from FooFuu's Turf!!
