When around dogs get off the bike and walk. Today I see one of my daily dogs in the road. This dog has caused me to go down before so I unclick and get off the bike. I am walking by the dogs house with him barking at me and I decide that I am far enough by him that he will not come after me. I clip my right foot in and here he comes. I try to unclip but immediately fall scratching my knee and elbow. Then the owner comes out and accuses me of antagonizing his dog and that I should just ride on by. I asked him if he remembered what happened last time I tried to ride on by and he does. We have no leash laws here and there is not anything that I can do other than talk to the owners and this owner is not going to do anything. So like I said get off the bike when you see a dog and stay off longer than I did.
