So, you're biking along and suddenly an off-leash dog comes out of nowhere and starts chasing you, teeth bared, looking like he's going to bite your leg off. What do you do? Seriously. I find this experience terrifying.
for Basset hounds (perhaps not this one) or really fast cyclists. Speeding up just makes you look more like a deer to what's left of the dog's little wolf brain. Screaming and yelling probably make you look even tastier. If you don't want to bother learning to become a bike riding dog whisperer, get an air horn.
