WEAR CHAPS ?

Has anyone figured a legal and humane way to keep dogs off your ankles?

Whatever you do, resist the urge to kick at the dog, as this could throw you off-balance. I've read a good plan of action when approaching a dog (especially one that seems intent on chasing you) is to slow, downshift, honk your horn, and then accelerate past the point of interception. This will throw off the dog's planned point of interception and confuse it.; ▶ Reply to This

Many times while i was out riding I could be seen or heard motioning to or screaming at the wildlife population. Something to the tune of "crazy rabbit , watch where your going" or "f&cking deer , dont make me turn this bike around"; ▶ Reply to This

Thought about leaving a note in the mail box of the home where this happens informing them that I have their address at home for my family so in the event that I die on that length of road said family can come after them in court.; ▶ Reply to This
